--- Comment #14 from A.Holtsmark <holtsmark at gmx.net> ---
Thank you for this informative post.
I will give it a try later today, but it sounds like it might work.

HOWEVER, it will probably not work well in my very specific case.
I ported the whole document from Word to Writer due to the complex page
numbering scheme I needed to use.
-I have page styles for chapter levels 1 to 3. This results in 3 page styles
-For each of these, I have page styles for whether this page contains
information that is authority approved or not, making it 6 styles.
-Then we had to change from national to European certification authority,
making it 12 styles.
-Finally, for each time the document is edited, there is a new date in the
footer (a part of the page change tracking), adding another set of 12 styles
each time. So far, we have managed to get away with 4 edits. This yields 48
page styles within the document. Now, If I must split each style into a
left-hand and a right-hand style, I will have to manage 96 page styles within
this single document. I fear that the cure will be worse than the disease.

Therefore: While I accept that the solution mentioned above may be a/the
correct solution to this issue, I fear that unless one of the two fixes I
mentioned above is implemented, I will be stuck with my current workaround.

PS: MS Word choked completely on this numbering scheme. Before porting I had to
open the Word document in Writer and re-save as .doc in order to maker Word
open the document without choking. It is definitely not a common type of
document.
