Hi :)
I think using different types of tabs in the header section is the best answer.
I still haven't worked out how to get Word to respect Writer's greater level of
finesse about placing text-boxes and other boxes. Tabs neatly avoids the
issue.
Regards from
Tom :)

have centred text and not centred text on the same line.
How about placing an invisible frame to hold the text of your header? This would
assume it's going to be printed on white paper, of course, but I make the 'line'
and 'area' both white and usually set transparency to 100% if it's close to
something else. The alternating-side-of-the-page thingy is something I've never
attempted, although I feel sure it could be done. I personally just center the
page number in a footer, rather than placing it with my header. Others who are
more experienced may have better suggestions.

Anyone know how?
Yup. You'll have worked out that you need separate page styles for right and
left pages, with the Next Style of each set to the other - so that they
alternate through your document. In both headers you need a centre tab at the
centre and in the right page style you also need a right tab at the right text
margin. (You will probably find these already set for you in the default Right
Page and Left Page page styles.) The left page header content is then easy:
<page number field><tab character><centred text>. What may not be quite as
obvious is that your right page header needs to contain <tab character><centred
text><tab character><page number field>.
I trust this helps.

Thanks, helped me. Its so simple and I had never thought of it. I'd be
embarrassed to explain how I was doing it.
