How can I add a different text to each header and footer of each page in LibreOffice Writer? If I edit the header of a page, the text automatically changes on the others. I want them to behave independently.
EDIT: What I would like to achieve is this: let's say I have 7 pages, the first one doesn't have neither a header or a footer, it's just a simple page with an image.
The second page should have an "INDEX" header and a footer at the bottom of the page with the page number "2" on the right. The third page should have another header, or better a header with a different text, different text-size and with italic style, and the footer should have the page number "3", and so on.
If I click Insert->Fields->Number of pages I get the total of the pages of my document and this is not what I am looking for. But also clicking on Insert->Fields->Number of page doesn't help cause if I have e.g. the "INDEX" page and I click on Insert->Fields->Number of page, I get the number "3" instead of the number "2". Also I have noticed that my footer style is different on some pages, how can I make it the same for every page?
For different page numbering, you will have to use page styles. If your document contains a front page, one or more index pages, and the main content pages, you could create three different page styles (frontmatter, index, maincontent). To change from one page style to the next one, you need to set manual page breaks, telling LibreOffice which page style to use after the page break: Menu Insert -> Manual Break:
Using the "Style" ComboBox, you can select the page style to use for the pages following the break.
For each page style, you can set different headers / footers, e.g. to hide page numbering on the front page. Also, you can set the page numbering to start with 1 instead of the "physical" page number (for example, if the front page doesn't count as page 1, you could set the following page style to start with 1 instead 2).
The most important point is diving the document in logical units using page styles. After this is done, you can set different paragraph styles for each page element (header, footer), allowing to set a different text size only for the header of the "index" part of your document.

We have a multi-page Terms and Conditions which needs to print out at then end of our Quotes. I created a single row text box and pasted it in. I tried it in Page Footer a and well as Page Footer b. I formatted the text box: Can Grow with all the other boxes unchecked. I can scroll down through it to see it is all there in the text box, but when I View Preview it doesn't expand beyond one page. How can I make it grow into multiple pages?
It worked when placed in the Report Footer b section.
I have a word document of 104 pages with all page no displayed as "page 1 of 10" . Now I want to change the page numbers at 95 and display it as 94a and for page numbers 96 onward as "page 95 of 104" 97 as "page 96 of 104" and so on....
How to do that. I am using MS office 2013.
You can use Sections and Manual Page Breaks to do this.
There are 4 types of Section Breaks - For purposes of this question, I suggest only to use "Continuous". A "Next Page" Section would be more appropriate, but it can become problematic and cast you into Word hell - requiring hours of work to untangle.
Quick Tutorial
Add several paragraphs of text to a new Word doc. Go to Insert/Footer and choose a page numbering format.
Turn on the invisible characters using the icon that looks like a paragraph mark or Cntrl-Shifit-8. You will now see the line breaks and spaces represented with special characters.
Place the cursor after a paragraph mark and go to Layout Tab/Page Setup/ Breaks and click "Continuous". You will see that a new "Section Break (Continuous)" has been added. This creates a new Section in the document. We still need a new page.
Place the cursor after the Section Break and add a Page Break with Insert/Page Break or Cntrl+Enter.
Double click the Footer at the bottom of Page 2 (or whatever is the new page) and notice on the left that the Footer is labelled "Footer -Section2-". On the right there is a "Same as Previous" label. This means the Page Numbering in the Footer is the same as the Previous Section. Opening the Footer also opens the Design Tab. On the Design Tab "Link to Previous" has a dark background, indicating it is active for this Section. Click it to make it inactive. This will remove the "Link to Previous" label from the Footer. You can now edit the Page Number of this section using any of the Page Numbering Tools (or just change it manually). There are a number of Page Numbering tools on the Design Tab. There are also Section Controls in Layout/Page Setup/Layout Tab. Experiment a bit and you'll get the hang of it ;)
I want to write the current page number of a page that contains a picture as text. and I want it to be updated if the page number changes.
Example:
Picture1 is on page 1.
On page 2 I'll write something like "look at my picture1 on page 1".
Then I add text at the beginning of page 1.
So Picture1 moves to page 2 and my text moves to page 3.
Now, I want to read on page 3 "look at my picture1 on page2".
Is it possible to generate a page number of a picture by using field functions?
Now I solved my problem by using cross-references.
I build report by using cross tab in crystal report in the first page i have title page that take area about 1/4 of the page consist with logo and report name and filter detail So on the second page it shown up the same position as the first page something that I want is to remove the report header section and move up the page header section and detail section to top on the 2nd page Thanks you for answer and i want to know Is this need to do ?? because some aspect of user tell that Its' okay don't move 2nd page up its should be like this same position same line its easy to read and compare the pages some aspect think that it's lost the area of the head of page 2 it's useless what should I do from here
To cojimarmiami,
i tried your suggestion formula but it' doesn't work when i preview it show just a page in horizantal by the vertical space separate it for 2 Block (not page) and when i printed its' come out 2 pages in A4 paper What should i do for the next step Thank you
you will have to place your logo, report name and filter on Page Header, then go to that Section Expert and place this formula on Suppress pagenumber <> 1. That is going to suppress that section if your are not on the first page.
We are trying to create Crystal Report but have a problem with page template creation.
Report looks like this:
It should be "stamp" in the right bottom corner of page. First page stamp looks little different from other pages stamp.
At the left part of page on the left margin two objects are placed. Both of them oriented vertically and should work as header and footer (should be shown on every page) but take more room than required for usual header and footer. In this case we can't use usual header and footer to place these objects.
Tables on pages should work as "background" because even 1 record on page should show 20-row table (with first row filled in this example)
It would be great if we have something like "left running title" but we can't see such feature in CR.
I attached couple images to show how the report should look (sorry, i can't post images here because have no enough reputation points):
First Page Second Page
Could you please say how such report template can be created? We have no skilled CR developer in our company and have no idea which way of report creation can be used :(
We also agree to use another report engine if it is free and can work with .NET applications
Thanks for help

You can use underlay property of the sections to get the desired result. You can use the page header and page footer for putting the details and for page-header, set the underlay property to TRUE and for the footer, set the property of the detail section (I presume, you have a single detail section in the report) to TRUE. This will make the details of the header and footer display beneath the detail section.
