Please, how do I actually tell OOo what the *text* is I want in my page
headers? In my page footers? Separately for left/right page headers?
Separately for left/right page footers? Separately for different page
styles?
My point is that I can't find anywhere that links the (text + fields +
attributes) of the header/footer to the particular style. I thought that
when I specify, for example, a Page Header style I'd get the chance to
specify the text/fields/attributes and where (left/centre/right) I want
them. But no. I'm obviously missing something fundamental. What, please?
Oh, by "attributes" I mean things like font size, font,
boldness/underlined/... etc. etc
Hi Harold. Maybe I'm being naive and am misunderstanding, but I can't
see the issue.
I've just tried an experiment. New document. I set up left and right
page styles to 'ping pong' as usual, and put different daft margins in
so I can be sure which style is in use.
I created a some pages, then went to a 'left' page, and did 'Insert
header' and put some text with a crazy style; then went to a right page
and did something differently peculiar.
It all seems to 'just work' - all 'left' pages now have the one header
and style, all 'right' pages the other.
And if I change a page style with the stylist, the header contents and
style change to match (eg jam the 'right' style onto a 'left' page --
everything switches around.)
I do notice also that 'Insert header' now has 3 sub entries - 'default',
'left' and 'right' corresponding to the page styles in use.
Am I missing something you need, or maybe you're trying to make it too
complex??
(I /do/ have an issue with the way page styles chain one to the next,
but that's something separate I reckon.)
