--- Comment #45 from Regina Henschel <rb.hensc...@t-online.de> ---
I think, that some of the comments confuse page design with the technical means
to get this design. In Word you set the distance between text block and edge
and the distance between header and edge, the header height is calculated. In
LibreOffice you set the distance between header and edge and the header height,
and the distance between text block and edge is calculated. But that are only
technical differences for making a page design with margin, header and text
block. It is simple math to convert one setting to the other.
I see no interoperability problem. LibreOffice changes the settings on import
and export from and to docx to get the same page design as in Word. And the
other way round, Word does the same when getting an odt-file.

If a student is not sure, that the reviewer can distinguish between page design
and technical settings, the student should ask for a document template, or the
student makes a dummy document with LibreOffice and shows it to the reviewer.

That can be achieved by setting fixed header height in LibreOffice.

ODF uses the common block element model of margin-border-padding-content as
used in XSL and CSS. In my understanding of the typographical terms, the
"content" is that, what is named "type area" in typography, but I might be
wrong. A running head is inside the type area.
Ideally users first design their "master pages" aka page styles and fill the
document with content afterwards. But reality is different. Users add a header
after they had written the content, and their tweaked page breaks will be
disturbed.
For the cases, where a user uses the menu item "Header and Footer" and does not
make the settings directly in the page style, I can think of a dialog, where
the user is asked, whether the header should be placed into the area of the
former margin, or whether the page text area should be reduced to get room for
the header below the margin. That would only require a new dialog for
calculating the needed settings, but no further changes in the code.
