Help! I am a writer desperately trying to format a multi-page
document with one header ON THE FIRST PAGE and a different header on
subsequent pages. I have tried everything. Please inform.
You need a different page style for the first page to that of subsequent
pages.
If, say, your document is currently using only the Default page style
you'll see the name "Default" in the Status bar's current page style
field at the bottom of your Writer window. If you click in the first
page and then right-click on the current page style field in the Status
bar, you'll get a menu of page styles. Select "First Page" from the
list. This will change the style of the first page to that style.
[This explanation is a bit misleading, since what really happens in this
case is the page style of the most recent "manual page break with page
style", or the document's first page if there isn't one, will be changed
to use the selected page style.]
Now you can turn on headers in the first page (Format -> Page ->
Header(tab)) then add content to the header frame and it will not be
repeated on subsequent pages.
[Note that the First Page style's "Next Page" page style setting is the
"Default" page style, so the first page will have the First Page style
and the page after will automatically revert to the Default page style
again.]
