This link is where you can get the Guides for the LibreOffice 
components. The one you should get is the Getting Started Guide 
specifically the "Getting Started with Writer" chapter. The latter 
contains a chapter on how to apply styles to a document. If you download 
the guide or chapter, a table showing the differences between the Mac OS 
and the operating systems.
     It seems that what you have done is to add direct formating to the 
header you were working with. The first thing you need to do is to 
select the header and clear direct formatting. Then follow the 
instructions in the Getting Started with Writer chapter to change styles.
