Re: [libreoffice-users] How to do this header bar

Boy, that makes it pretty simple from the way I "used" to do it many years ago in 
Word. I keep forgetting about this "Styles" thing.

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.
