            Bug ID: 138012
           Summary: menu item Page (in Format) should be active even when
                    there is an inserted read-only document in it in FOCUS
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

versions: 7.03 / 6.x

although it is logical that a read only document inserted into a document
shouldn't be edited, it comes up as illogical when you want to set
the "mother document's" page... and you can't do it, cannot even access the
menu item "Page" (in Format).... 

example:

you have inserted a section with a linked read-only document... say, it is 10
pages...
and it starts at the first line...

now, if you want to change the page format, you need to insert a line before
the section with the linked document... need to insert a new first line, so to
speak...

this is unnecessary pain... cause the PAGE is set by the "mother document" in
every circumstance

suggestion: the Page menu item should be active.. even when a linked document
is in focus...

------------------------------

NOTE:
actually it works if you go Styles -> pages styles...

and it should work the same when with the normal route: Format / page... or
Format / Page styles (as in 7.03)


simply, it just shouldn't be greyed out in the Format menu...

suggestion:

this could be fixed in former versions, too...
