well as for wrap and alignment (Figure 176).

Applying page styles
To apply a page style, place the cursor anywhere on the page to which
the style should be applied. You can easily check which page style is
applied because it is shown on the status bar (Figure 177).

If you want to apply a different style, you can either right-click on the
style in the status bar and select a new stype from the pop-up menu, or
you can open the Styles and Formatting window, select the page style
icon at the top of the window (fourth icon), and then double click on
the desired style.
Caution
Changing a page style may cause the style of subsequent
pages to change as well. The results may not be what you
want. To change the style of only one page, you may need to
insert a manual page break, as described on the next page.
As discussed in Chapter 7 (Working with Styles), a correctly set up
page style will, in most cases, contain information on what the page
style of the next page should be. For example, when you apply a Left
page style to a page, you can indicate in the style settings that the next
page has to apply a Right page style, a First page style could be
followed by either a Left page style or a Default page style, and so on.
