I also experienced this frustrating problem. Even when you use Styles and Formatting (Format) and set the First Page, followed by Default pages and then input the headers on each page. You can save it and it is OK but once you close it and open it again it has not held your save. And the default page headers disappear and the first page header appears on every page!

I have a customer where I'm migrating them to Open Office 2.1 from Word 2000. They have many documents that were created using Word. as part of the migration we were opening/editing the documents using both programs. What we observed is that when we open a MS document with OO 2.1 everything looks good, however when we close/save the document and then reopen the document with MS Word the header info is gone. The same situation occurs when the document is edited with headers created using OO and opened with MS Word. curt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
