<pre>Description:
You CANNOT expect one to spend hours to do a simple thing like to create a
document with sections where one switches from portrait to landscape, moves
from multi-columns to single column, has different page number styles per
section and so on. I have been using OO/LO since 2009 and have not been able to
master this.
Either provide a detailed instruction on how to do this, or make it simpler.
For on thing I cannot figure out how to even see where the section starts or
ends. If I change the page to Landscape from Portrait I can see it, but if I
change ti back to Portrait I am lost again - can you not put a solid black line
there or something to show the change definitively. If I change from one to two
columns, then the previous section also changes to two columns.
No amount of googling and reading of help has been able to help me.
This is driving me NUTS!
Actual Results:
cannot manage sections
Expected Results:
A section should be a document within a document. If it inherits from the
previous section that that should be displayed in some way that is obvious.
MOST important point: it should be very clear where section breaks are.
PLEEEEASE!!!! I beg you on my knees!
