      Are you using a Master Document for this? You can then use one
document for each chapter and combine these into one document. See the
Writer Guide for details. From what you wrote, it seems possible that
you are using only one file for the complete document. Breaking the
complete document into smaller parts and then using Master Documents to
combine them might eliminate the page styles problem. (All of our user
guides are written this way.
