I am trying to add another custom page to my donate button, not my primary page. Below is the answer from PayPal BUT But there is NO place to click "add more options"* and there is NO "page_style"* Variable CODE in the html. HOW do I make it go to my other NON primary custom page? I spent two hours last night trying to figure it out. Where is the "cs" and image" variables in the CODE TOO? Aaaarrrgggghh!! THANKS IN ADVANCE. Holly Asterisks are mine. Here is what PP says: "Overriding Page Style Settings Your Primary page style will automatically be applied to all of your payment pages unless you specify otherwise. To apply a different page style, select the one you want when creating your Buy Now Button, Donate button, PayPal Shopping Cart button, or PayPal Website Payments button. Just click Add More Options* on the button creation page, and choose a page style from the Custom Payment Page Style menu. To change the page style for a button you have already created, you can modify the button’s HTML code. Replace the value of the "page_style"* variable with the Page Style Name of the style you wish to apply. The next time the button is clicked, its payment pages will appear in the new style. Specifying the "cs" and "image" variables in the button code will also override your Primary page style."

The instructions are rather unclear but this is what I found elsewhere (credit to skier, paypal developer on PayPal Developer Community)

On step 3 of the button creation tool, you will see "Advanced Variables" The text box at the bottom of the page is where you would insert the variable for page styles that have been pre created.

For example to insert the "page_style" variable just enter:
page_style=name_of_style
There's no HTML extras, just the name of the variable , an equal sign and the value.
