Re: [libreoffice-users] Sections are driving me nuts

try to insert page break at the end of "page 18" through the "insert -> manual break -> page break" 
from the menu bar  and let us know what happens. while inserting the page break, select the desired 
page style and start it with page no 1.

regards,
