The problem is that for this particular issue - it is not considered a 'problem'. The way that OOo handles headers is different from M$ Word, but it is not a problem nor a bug that will be corrected in future versions of OOo (as far as I can tell).
This is one of those things that should be considered a learning curve.. as with all new software there are some slight differences that need to be worked through... /paul On 7/14/05, Morné Binedell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Paul, > > My problem is that we have a small office network of 4 PCs and this one is > the new one on the network.
