--- Comment #56 from Todd <ToddAndMargo@zoho.com> ---
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #46)
I think, one problem is, that the items 'Character', 'Paragraph' and 'Bullet
and Numbering…' in that section of the Format menu perform a direct
formatting which has no effect on other parts or the document. But the item
'Page…' there, does not perform a direct formatting at all and has often a
document-wide effect.

I suggest to rename 'Page…' to 'Edit Page Style' and move it out of the
Character-Paragraph section. Perhaps put it after 'Watermark', that has
already 'Columns', which alters the page style too.

Hi Regina,

I think one of the issues here is naming custom styles with names like
"Landscape".  The "User" expects it to be Landscape because that is what is
says it is.  (I currently have a test doc in Portrait that uses a style called
Landscape.)  He does not realize that it is an arbitrary comment and that the
page orientation is buried in the XML tags.  I surely did not.  The new style
could as well be called the Flaming Zucchini style.  At least if the style was
called the Flaming Zucchini, he know to look inside to see what it does.

When you tell the user that Landscape is not Landscape Orientation but jsut teh
name of the style, he is going to think you are an idiot and go buy M$ Office. 
I have had is happen too many times.  At least the usually buy M$ Office from
me.  But geez, what a waste of money.
