            Bug ID: 122220
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: When I create a New Page Style, and save the file, the
                    New Style has become a "Convert 1", "Convert 2", etc.
    Classification: Application
           Product: Writer
           Version: AOO 3.4.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: formatting

Created attachment 80631
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=80631&action=edit
A few pages from my manuscript showing the Page Styles have reverted to
"Convert."

I am not trying to insert a document from Word.  I only use OOo.

When I create a new Page Style, it seems to work fine.  When I save and close
my document, then return later.  All the Page Styles I have created (with my
unique names: Chapter 1 Opening, Chapter 1, etc.) have been renamed Convert 1,
Convert 2, etc.  This is true throughout the whole document.

Another problem I noticed occurs when I want the first page of a Chapter
(Chapter 1 Opening) to not have a Header and Footer.  I create the Page Style
and it works just fine.  Then I create the next Page Style for the rest of the
Chapter (Chapter 1) with Headers and Footers.  This, also works fine.  However,
when I return to the document later, the names of the Page Styles (as mentioned
above) have been changed to Convert 1, Convert 2, etc. and now there is a
Header box and Footer Box on the first page of the Chapter.  However, these
boxes are not lined up in the Document and actually sit above and below the
margins.  If I print a page like this, no Header or Footer appears.  However,
if I type anything in one of the boxes, what I have typed appears.

Since my document is over 400 pages long, I am going to copy the first few
pages and attach them.  I don't know why the first page of the sample is just a
Default page.  In reality, it's the last page of the preceding chapter.

I hope there is an explanation for this.  I am formatting a book for the
publisher and I need to get it finished.  

Thank you for your help.

--- Comment #1 from Oliver-Rainer Wittmann <or...@apache.org> ---
The change of the Page Style names is caused by the used export to the
Microsoft Word file format. Microsoft Word does not support Page Styles like
OpenOffice. Microsoft Word and OpenOffice differ conceptional here.

When you only use OpenOffice (as you said) then I suggest to use its native
file format to store your document. OpenOffice's native file format is ODF
(OpenDocument file format).
