Thanks, but the problem is not solved. I created a document, assigned the First Page style, advanced to Page Two, defined a header for it under the Default page style. So far, so good. Then I created a third page and assigned to it an untitled1 page style, with header on. That gave me the opportunity to create a different header. Problem is, when I changed the header on page 3, all pages - even page one, were changed to that untitled1 page style. What am I missing here? p. -- Using OOo 1.9.125 on Win XP sp2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
