Hi :) I think using different types of tabs in the header section is the best answer. I still haven't worked out how to get Word to respect Writer's greater level of finesse about placing text-boxes and other boxes. Tabs neatly avoids the issue.

How about placing an invisible frame to hold the text of your header? This would assume it's going to be printed on white paper, of course, but I make the 'line' and 'area' both white and usually set transparency to 100% if it's close to something else. The alternating-side-of-the-page thingy is something I've never attempted, although I feel sure it could be done. I personally just center the page number in a footer, rather than placing it with my header. Others who are more experienced may have better suggestions. -- I'm so busy, I don't know whether I found a rope or lost my horse! <>< Earl -- ________________________________ From: Steve Edmonds <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, June 19, 2011 1:27:53 PM Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] How to do this header bar On 20/06/11 4:11 AM, Brian Barker wrote: > At 10:19 15/06/2011 +0100, Mark Stanton wrote: >> To reproduce a very common printing style I want to have a header line (on >>every page) in my document with the page number on the right or left >>depending >>on whether it's a right or left page, and also centred text (on the same line). >> >> I think the first bit isn't too hard (is it?), but I can't work out how to >> have >> >>centred text and not centred text on the same line. >> >> Anyone know how? > > Yup.

Its so simple and I had never thought of it. I'd be embarrassed to explain how I was doing it. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
