I have a three page document which has been edited in various
OpenOffice and now LibreOffice versions over the past three years. The
first and third pages have footers, the second page does not. I would
like to add the footer to the second page.
I tried Format -> Page -> Footer -> Footer On but this did not add the footer.
I then tried Insert -> Footer. the footers "Default" and "No Footer"
was checked, so I unchecked "No Footer". This did not add the footer.
I then tried various permeations of the Footer options, none helped. I
then noticed that Format -> Page -> Footer -> Footer On was once again
unchecked. Checking it again did not help.
This is on LibreOffice 3.5 on Kubuntu Linux.
Were you one the 2nd page when you tried to add the footer?
Was there some odd/even page formatting controls enabled?
Why you are having the problem may be some portion of the coding that
sees the odd pages with footers and then will not allow you to
create/edit ones on the even pages.
I currently do not use 3.5.x. I use 3.4.6 on Ubuntu 10.04/GNOME and
12.04/MATE. I should try it now that it is at ".3", but will stick with
3.4.6 for a bit longer on my default Ubuntu 10.04LTS desktop.
How about this, as a work around for now:
------------------------------------------------
do a "Edit/Select All" and "copy" the document.
Then, while the original document is open, to a "File/New/Text Document"
and then enable the footers option.
Then paste the text to the new document and deal with the footers.
This should work. If it does not, then there must be some problem in
the LO version itself.
