I just cannot get this to work. I have located the relevant manuals (archive diggers: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/word_processing/HowTo_Work_with_Sections.pdf and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Using_sections_for_page_layout) and I will read them later this week.
