<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id6418042" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">All page properties for Writer text documents, like for example the page orientation, are defined by page styles. By default, a new text document uses the <emph>Default</emph> page style for all pages. If you open an existing text document, different page styles may have been applied to the different pages. </paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id8324533" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">It is important to know that changes that you apply to a page property will only affect the pages that use the current page style. The current page style is listed in the Status Bar at the lower window border.</paragraph>

<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_idN1071D" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">$[officename] uses page styles to specify the orientation of the pages in a document. Page styles define more page properties, as for example header and footer or page margins. You can either change the <emph>Default</emph> page style for the current document, or you can define own page styles and apply those page styles to any parts of your text. </paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id1449324" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">At the end of this help page, we'll discuss the scope of page styles in detail. If you are unsure about the page style concept, please read the section at the end of this page.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="note" id="par_id1480758" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Unlike character styles or paragraph styles, the page styles don't know a hierarchy. You can create a new page style based on the properties of an existing page style, but when you later change the source style, the new page style does not automatically inherit the changes.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id2962126" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="CHG">To change the page orientation for all pages that share the same page style, you first need a page style, then apply that style:</paragraph>
