Yes, of course! I even just tried again to be sure.

No, not that I see. I had turned off the footer on that one page specifically.

I do not think that it is an odd / even problem. I specifically
removed that footer from the single page. Oin fact, I think that I had
to give the page a custom style. I just checked Format -> Page ->
Organizer and I see that the page has name "No Footer". I cannot seem
to change it to the default style, though. If I remove the name then I
get a message that the name is already in use. And none of the options
on that page set the page to the default style.

Actually, I tried that but 1) I would like to learn to use LO
properly, and 2) this page has some killer tables that are difficult
to copy. I might even have to open another thread on that if I cannot
figure it out of find any relevant information in the fine manual.

Thanks.
