Using Writer 6.3.5.2

I drew a colour filled polygon at the top of a page where the header would 
normally be. I saved this as a template and then went to use it for a new 
document.

The new document had the graphic on the first page but not on subsequent pages. 
Clearly, the graphic element did not form part of the page description and I 
cannot find a way to make it stick so all new pages with that template 
automatically include the graphic.

Does anyone have suggestions for how this could be achieved in Writer other 
than by the hard labour method of copy and pasting the element to each  new 
page?


You need to enable the header and then anchor the graphic to the paragraph in 
the header. It is not necessary that this paragraph has any content

Thank you for the reply. I could not succeed to get the existing graphic to 
anchor inside the header and after lots of attempts, I gave up. I remade the 
graphic inside the header and even that had its problems. If I slipped slightly 
outside the header space, the graphic would reanchor to the body paragraph.

I eventually got there and did the footer too so all is working nicely.

Philip
