--- Comment #5 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
I just received the eproofs for my 1st book in A-format size, and found that
although I had carefully gone through that, correcting this same issue, it
still had 25 pages with the headers broken as I've described here.
So I went through it, manually find each case and fixing it up: that took an
hour.
Then I rechecked - and now, new pages had their headers broken.  In each case,
it seems that a page header style suddenly changes to the wrong left/right
sense. So this time I noted down each page number that head the error, and
started correcting again - to see if the same page numbers keep getting the
error.
I corrected the 1st two (pages 15 and 29, which it thought were left hand
pages, since the paragraph style had changed to Header Left; so I changed the
style to Header Right and set the correct header text).
Then I scanned back to see if any pages had changed: yes, p34 was now wrong: it
thought it was now a Header Right page; so I changed it to Header Left and
correct the text, and rescanned - and now page 20 is broken, it thinks it's a
Header Right style.

Frankly, Ican't find a way to manually correct it: it's like a very unpleasant
game of "whack-a-mole": any correction to one header seems to have a chance of
creating errors on other pages, and I can only find them by manually scrolling
and looking.  In a 386 page novel, it's a lot of work, and basically, I seem to
be stuck: I can find no way to get a correct text.

So this edition of my novel is now stalled, as I can't create a correct PDF
file because I can't get correct text in LO.

Help!
