Yes, in fact there is not a specific dialog for the First Page style, so
it's a bit confusing. Your proposal clarify it and I agree also to add
caps to really mean the style of the page. An alternative may be "Same
content of First Page style".

I think there is the same comprehension problem if you respect the source ;)
