After looking through all the elements in page tab of the page style dialog due
to bug 67973, i believe it is worthwhile to revise the entire tab, so we dont
have to look over its contents multiple times to fix all the minor bugs.

Here are the changes i believe should be made.

Paper Format section
1) 'Paper Format' heading label should be changed to 'Paper'
2) 'Format' label should be changed to 'Size'
3) 'Format' control width should be shrunk by a third
4) Add common page sizes for books, etc. like 6"x9"[1] and 5.5"x8.5"[2][3]

Margins section
1) Add preset list of margins above spinboxes from list available in sidebar
2) Add 'Synchronize' checkbox below spinboxes, similar to borders tab

Layout Settings section
1) 'Layout Settings' heading label should be change to 'Print', 'Printer', etc.
2) Move 'Paper tray' label and control here from Paper Format section

New Style or Format section
1) Move 'Text direction' label and control here from Paper Format and always be
visible
2) Move 'Page Number' label and control here
