All the sub-documents were originally one document, so I believe they
were created with the same template. What I did was copy the original
document 10 times, then refer to separate sections of it in the master
document. In each sub-doc, I then deleted any non-references sections.
I will check the Writer Guide, though. Thanks much for the pointer.

I have a master document that I constructed by incorporating
[linking to] various sections of various documents. I am trying to
get the first page header and all other page headers to conform to
First Page and Default, but don't seem to be able to find the magic
required.
Firstly, I can't Format=>Page when the cursor is anywhere but in
the header. I guess this is to be expected, since the page content
is not necessarily attached to a page. I can live with that.
When in the header, though, both Default and First Page have "check
marks" in the Insert=>Header menu pick. If I un-check either of
these, all headers are removed.
I just want to be able to set a First Page header and a Default
header. When I had the document a one single .odt file, all was
fine. Now that I've split it into pieces, I can't get my headers
to work.
Suggestions? Pointers? RTFMs?
Thanks,
Donald.
(for those who need more detail, the various documents were created
by copying the original .odt [which had ten sections] to blah.1.odt
blah.2.odt blah.3.odt ... blah.10.odt I then created a master
document. Each section of the master document linked to one of the
blah.xx.odt files, which I then edited to only have the relevant
section. The master document looked just like I wanted except for
the headers. I turned on the headers (Format => Page => Header on)
but all pages have the First Page header. If I uncheck either the
First Page header or the Default header, all headers disappear.)
For a master document to work properly, all of the documents
added to it must be created using the same template. At least that is
my understanding of it. Check the Writer Guide for a chapter on
master documents. It is available at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/.
