--- Comment #7 from Yousuf (Jay) Philips <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---
So i checked Excel 2003, Quattro Pro x7, Calligra Words, and WPS Spreadsheet
and none of them had anything in the header and footer by default. The only app
that did have something was Gnumeric, which had the sheet name in the header
and the page number in the footer similar to LibreOffice.

As we dont have anything by default in the header and footer in new documents
from Writer or Impress, it would be consistent to do the same in new Calc
documents.

(In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) from comment #6)
The question is, should we then leave the default content in and just
disable them by default, or disable and remove default content?

Well i was going to suggest that you disable them in the page style and leave
the presets in, but the problem is that when they are disable, Insert > Header
and Footer is them disabled and a user would have to know to go into the page
style dialog in order to enable them. If it is possible to always have 'Header
and Footer' enabled and the dialog has the ability to enable and disable header
and footer as well as modify them, that would likely be the best option.
