OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Drawing

It is not possible to use page styles in LibreOffice Draw.

This would be necessary to allow different page orientations
(portrait/landscape) in one file.

That never worked in OOo / LibO, limitation is inherited from OOo; see AOOo

Note that for issue as I observed it (Unable to set different backgrounds
('None' and 'Colour: Black') for different slides in a presentation.) Help page
and message prompt indicate that setting different backgrounds is (i.e. should
be) possible.

Created attachment 70795
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=70795&action=edit
Sample how it works

@Jeremy
You can create different backgrounds easily in 'View -> Master View' (I checked
with LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 rc" German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 2ef5aff] {pull
date 2012-11-28} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) and then use different
slide backgrounds as you can see in attached sample documents.

So it is easy to assign different backgrounds in a document, but I will have to
check whether there is an "import" from an other document will work.

If you simple changed the "Default" background color in the document from where
you imported a slide it's expected that the background color of the target
document will be used. If in both documents Styles with the same name are used
the Style definition of the target document will be used.

@Rainer
Thanks.

Have played around some more: turns out my problem was down to trying to apply
a background of 'None' (specifically) to an individual slide, i.e. not
understanding how it comes together in this area.

Hi @jeremy,

The original issue (portrait/landscape in one file) has not been resolved so
far. Please let it in its current state.

Hi,
Can I add to this request?
My requirement is to have different size pages with different orientations in
the one document.
I use Visio and this is standard usage for drawings we create. Eg A4 cover
page, A3 wiring diagrams etc. Sometimes go to A2 to fit it all in one the one
page.
If we want uniform printing, we will print all to fit (scaled to one size - eg
A3) otherwise individual pages get printed as required.

I am using LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 on Win XP.

Thanks,
Tony

As per comment #2 I am including a link to the equivalent AOO bug, which has
seen little attention in the nine years since it was raised. This is purely for
information only.

--- Comment #13 from Owen Genat <***@gmail.com> ---
This bug started life as a request to implement page styles, but the summary
has been edited to specify page orientation and page size (both of which are
subsets / attributes of having a page style). I am amending the summary again
for clarity.

Importing either a Visio file (bug 61294) or PDF (bug 64990) with varying page
sizes into Draw results in all pages being set to the same orientation / size.

Added Apache issue 26641 to See Also list. It is currently unconfirmed, but
relates to page orientation i.e., is a subset of Apache issue 29234.
