This is not the normal behaviour, of course, so I'm having to guess
what you are doing wrong here. Are you perhaps missing the point of
a header - that it puts substantially *the same* information on each
page (pages that are formatted with the same page style, that
is)? Are you perhaps entering the page numbers manually on each
page? In that case, every number you enter replaces the previous
entry *for all pages* (with that page style). So yes: if you enter
them in order, the last one you enter would appear on all page headers.
In order to get the page number to increment automatically, you need
to use the Page button in the "Custom header" row of the Header
dialogue. This inserts a field which automatically takes on the page
number as necessary.
So I thought I would try customize the page number and selected page
1 of ?. When I did this all the heading info that I had entered was
deleted and the page was put in the center area.
This is easy. The preset headers in the drop-down list at Header are
not individual items that can be inserted into one of the three
areas, but evidently complete packages. "Page 1 of ?" is a header
with this in the centre area and nothing in the other two.
Anyway to correct this?
If you want "Page 1 of ?" in the right area and your other entries in
the other two, there are two ways to proceed. Either:
o Use the predefined "Page 1 of ?" header, but then cut and paste it
into the right area and then add your other entries in the left and centre,
or:
o In the right area, type "Page ", press the Page button, type " of
", and press the Pages button.
I trust this helps.
