As they say in the NFL, upon further review, I realize I didn't use section breaks but rather 
manual page breaks. I think I was confusing my technique with LO with my technique with MS-Word. 
Sorry for my own confusion.

Thanks Virgil, look forward to reading the doc.

After some more investigation I think much of my woe stemmed from having the 'no manual editing' 
tickbox selected in the ToC (the ol' user-error issue eh:).

Still having some issues with appendices though, so appreciate your assistance.

Regards,

Julian

If I understand your question, I've used section breaks and page styles
to achieve different page formatting. I've never used a master document
as I've never written anything long enough to justify it, but for my
longer documents, I set it up this way.

Title page -- using a page style I call TitlePage

(section break)

Front matter (table of contents, etc.) using a page style called FrontMatter

(section break)

Main matter (body of my document) using my standard page style (or if
it's double sided, I may have different page styles for right and left
sided pages.

With each section break, I reset the page numbering to "1," using lower
case roman numerals for the front matter and Arabic numbers for the main
body.

Hope this helps.

I'll email you directly a sample document showing my page styles, etc.

Hi all,

With a huge nod of appreciation to Virgil, I've managed to start building a
thesis template. This I'll push to the list when done.

I have another question though:

In my large Master doc I've now got margins for the text chapters that I
really like. Unfortunately this really doesn't look good for the ToC, which
is now way too squished (there's also a couple of the appendices that are
now borked).

How can I edit certain pages so they can have minimal margins. Something
like the title page but can't use the title page as that ruins the page
numbering.

Also is there weird rules with it being the ToC? I don't want to finalise
the ToC (ie make a copy) as it's still in flux.

So change the page margins whilst keeping the flexibility that makes the
ToC so good in the first place? Then I'll move onto the appendices:)

Regards to all,

Julian
