It worked...! It took some time to understand it, but it works! And now I can finally enjoy making a sectioned document that suites my needs and desires! Thank you so much, this was helpful and a huge relief.
Just a suggestion. Min 1:16 when you click at 'Header On' there is an option to differentiate the first page. If you unclick 'Same content on first page' you save yourself all the trouble if what you are looking for is just having a different header on the first page. The explanation on the vid works perfectly well if you want to mix many different types of headers along the document. Thanks for the vid. Precise and to the point. Subscribed.
Thank you sir for your video on how to add Headers and Footers in LibreOffice Writer. My problem is that I don't see in my documents, in older and LibreOffice 7.4 versions the marks at the top of the pages that mark the end of the top sections of the end of documents and where the Header section begins and where also I can click on the top imaginary line to create the Header area in which I can type my name and title of the book to appear there on alternate even and odd pages throughout the book. Is there a place in LibreOffice where I should go and click to make an adjustment to see those markers that signify the beginning (lower part) of the Header section? I my LibreOffice document I click at the top of the document, but nothing is happening and the Header area doesn't open. What should I do?
It seems like you need to do this to at least every single time you want to change a header from the video at least. Edit: Yeah, just for every time you do a new header. You can even do it between two existing headers as long as you carefully follow the instructions presented in the video. I tried it.
Not really. What you need to take into account is the use of different styles of pages. Once you set a style you just select it and it will accomodate the page to the settings you did once. If you want to have more than one style then yes, you will have to do a new 'process' for each new one you want to have, but then it's just a matter of selecting them after the breaks.
It takes a few tries to get this right, but the video makes sense, if you watch it. Just remember to first create a custom style with the header on, then use manual break with the newly created style selected, and then you can actually go into the page header to edit it. It'll then repeat as desired.
A much, *much* easier way to do this is to type in whatever you want your header to be, then make a text box that's anchored to the page(there'll be a anchor button up near the top when you have the box selected, pick that to change what it anchors to) and put the same stuff in it. Then, drag that text box over the header so it lines up with what you wrote, clear out the header, and tada. None of this styles garbage required. It's not as precise maybe but it's close enough.
@Vystopian So re-reading my own instructions(it's been 7 months lol I didn't even remember making this comment) I think I see what your problem is. The text box has an anchor point(IIRC it literally looks like a ship anchor, and is green?), and you want it anchored in the main body of the text but positioned over where the header goes, if that makes any sense. If you anchor it in the header it's gonna get duplicated just the same as if you just wrote the text into it directly. Hope this helps.

I'll keep this in mind. Thank you.
