Hi Wiebe,

Many thanks for Template Changer - I hadn't come across that before, will
investigate further.

Apologies to all that I am not clearly explaining myself.

This is not an issue with transferring from from sub-doc to master, it's
the same on both if I mirror the sub-doc settings to the master.

1. I do want to have an auto page break for each chapter.

The chapter headings are laid out so that there are two lines of heading:

CHAPTER N
This Is What Happens in Chapter N

textbodytextbodyetcetc

So somewhat logically LO inserts a page break thus:

"...pagebreak...
CHAPTER N
...pagebreak...
This Is What Happens in Chapter N

textbodytextbodyetcetc."

Ok, I think I understand now ;)

Just don't use two paragraph for chapter number and chapter name: between the number and the name of the chapter insert a Shift-Enter to break the line. This way both lines will be considered by Writer as a single paragraph and you'll get only one page break. And don't worry: Writer's TOC will ignore the line break so everything will be OK. NOTE: I'm using this method on my own book in order to get a two line heading.

Regards,
Ricardo



What I was looking for was a([n] easy) method to tell LO to not insert page
break between headings when they're next to each other.

Thinking aloud I guess the solution may be to setup another heading with identical settings except page break off - presumably that'd do it right?

HI Philip,

I've been exploring using master-doc as my 200 page thesis was becoming
unmanageable as a single (writer) doc. I've found navigation across the doc much easier since breaking it up into 60 or so separate docs, things like
the ToC is great, and it's nice to know the layout is consistent of the
whole doc, particularly as I've writing the bugger for about 6 years now!
Of course some of this may well be more growing familiarity with the
program. A big recent change has been in the update via the Debian repo's, 5.2.1.2 is much more stable. The devs seem to also have solved some of the issues that were causing the gui to be painfully slow - particularly with
opening drop-down menus.

Ricardo,

Appreciate you weighing in again. Conceptually I think I've solved the
issue but if not I'll upload an example somewhere/somehow:)

Cheers guys, positive community experience so far,

Julian

Assuming you are working with styles and that you defined your heading as
starting on a new page, you probably want the same style-sheet for the
sub-documents and the master.

That is hard to achieve in LO out off the box. But you may want to use
Template Changer for that, extension: http://bugs.documentfoundation

Having exactly the same templates for the master and the sub-documents
makes life much easier ;-)
