Sorry, for distributing those page style issues around.. always taking another
route.. Comment 7 shows a number of issues. Comment 0 and answer in comment 3

The issue, you start to combine different approaches. And you even need to. And
different context makes it really hard to follow. See also Bug 136348 comment
3.

And also bug 136490. 

It doesn't make it (always) any easier that pages styles are attached to
paragraph's (or me not being used to that) This is (partly) solved by the blue
page break bar. Except Page 1 has none. So you need Paragraph dialog/ Text flow
tab (and you still need to know). Or you use Status bar page style/ or Sidebar
-> Styles -> Page Style. 
You can't use Insert -> More breaks -> Manual break. You could use Format ->
Page Style -> Page orientation -> But that's changing the orientation for the
default page (so what you actually want)

If add new page with CTRL+ENTER, and want change the rotation, you can't use
Sidebar -> Styles -> Page Style nor Status bar page style; this will convert
also the first page.
You now need to use Insert -> More breaks -> Manual break for inserting the
page break or Format -> Paragraph -> Text Flow. Or access the paragraph style
from the blue header bar

Alternatively you can go the first page/ Format -> Page -> Style and set next
style. But that's of course not what you supposed to do (if I understand it
correctly)

You can't see if a page break 'contains' an explicit page style setting (could
be the same as the previous page) or non. Which isn't helping either.
