When you use the word "section", I assume you really mean "chapter". Books tend to be organised by chapter, not section. I assume you're using the term "section" because of the way you've used another company's word processor. ;-)
No, I actually meant "section" when I said "section". The book has chapters, and each chapter is composed of sections: within Chapter 1, there is Section A, B, C, D and so on. For law casebooks (of which this is one), that's pretty standard. (The only "other company's word processor" I've used lately is LaTeX, by the way, and I'd be using it for this if the publisher didn't require submission in Word format.)
OpenOffice.org has an excellent way to automate management of chapters - use styles. If you format each chapter heading with the Heading 1 style, OpenOffice.org will recognise them as chapters. After this, you just have to insert chapter fields into your header. After placing the cursor where you want the field, select Insert / Fields / Other (or just press ctrl-F2). On the document tab, there is a section called "Chapter" that allows you to insert chapter names and numbers.
Yes, I'm aware of this. It work fine for chapters. However, I need to have a header on the left-hand page that contains the chapter number (for which your approach works fine) and a header on the right-hand page that contains the *section* number (which I still don't have an approach for, as I explained in my original post.) So, my original question still stands.
