Re: [libreoffice-users] Need header outside right margin

There are two ways of setting a left and right margin in a header.

One way is to do it in the page formatting and page style settings where you 
set left and right margins for the page and header. LO doesn't seem to 
recognize negative header margins in the page formatting/style dialogs.

The other way is in the paragraph formatting and paragraph style settings, 
where you set the negative indents in the "Indents and Spacing" tab of the 
paragraph formatting dialog boxes.

My version of LO *does* recognize negative header indents in the paragraph 
formatting/style dialogs.

I'm using LO 3.6.6.2 on a Win7 machine.

If a newer version of LO doesn't allow negative paragraph indents beyond the 
page margins, it only underscores my frustration with LO's version release 
philosophy. New versions should *never* go backwards in terms of bugs.

Your right, someones mucked it up.
I have quite a few documents with the header wider than the page margins
from an older version. They open ok and show the header wider, I have
not tried an edit to see if my formatting is lost or not. I have some
vague recollection of a tick box about synchronise header and page width
or header width the same as the page but not sure where that came from
(as it aint there now).

Oops, formatting lost, the headers (and footers) have now been shrunk by
LO to match the page margins.
