Large Word 2000 Document

I can reproduce it on 1.1 Rc4 Win Xp

actually you didnt need to attach all the page, you can cut only some
page and attach it, so it is smaller and easier to upload/download

reassigned to mru@open office.org

change to new

MRU->CMC: Another case, where the page layout (here: the footer
content) is changed with a section break. For CWS filter12 you have
fixed a similar one (#112027), but this seems to be a bit different.

Example

cmc->ama: Heres an example of a nightmare scenario with continuous
sections in word. 

The basic problem is that all sections in word can have their own
headers and footers, generally the continous sections are just set to
use the same headers and footers as the previous section, which maps
generally well to our sections inside pages which have headers and
footers, but (as the final example best shows), when the continuous
sections have their own different hd/ft there are obvious problems.

In that case the first page after the start of the continuous section
uses the headers and footer of the continuous section. So in the
example on page 3 there is a continuous section with different hd/ft
set for it. The hd/ft on this page are that of the previous normal
section because the page starts with content of the previous section,
but if the new continuous section expand onto the next page, then the
next pages get the new continuous sections hd/fts. I see no way to hac
k this with follow styles :-(

In the (fairly common) case where users insert a continuous section
that has different hd/ft and there is a user inserted page break
inside the section, then for #112027# I've come up with putting a page
break with page style instead of the bare page break which works in a
lot of cases, but thats only a workaround which doesn't work in the
general case when there is no suitable hard page break available like
this example.

We should create a new property for sections: "Preferred Pagestyle"
which doesn't force a hard page break but will used for the page style
after the next (soft) page break.
We'll see if we manage this in the timeframe for 2.0. 

added oooqa, ms_interoperability

Should be solved in a later version.
