How do I control headers in Open Office?

Hi I've created a text document in Open Office, ready to change to a pdf. The problem is that Ive created a header for the doc that shows up on every single page - well I don't want it to appear on every page.



How can I do this?



Thanks in advanceHow do I control headers in Open Office?
In OpenOffice.org Writer you use page styles. Essentially you use one page style for pages where you want the header to appear and another page style where you don't want it to appear.



Press F11. This will bring up the style viewer. To see the page styles available select the fourth icon at the top of the screen. Make sure that the bar at the bottom of the screen reads “All” so that all page styles are visible.



You will probably find that the “Default” page style is highlighted, as that is probably the style you are already using. Just right-click on whatever style is highlight, and select “New';. In the window that comes up, name this new style as “Header'; or anything else you want. Set up your header only in that page style. Delete the header from your normal page style. Double click on your new “Header” page style will change what ever page your cursor is currently in, or whatever pages you have currently select, to use the new “Header” page style. Other pages can be selected to use the “Default” style without the header.



Press F11 again to exit the style viewer.



Note in the status row at the bottom of the main Writer window the second panel will list the style of the current page. You can change this by clicking on that panel and selecting another style.



Note that in the style viewer, you may ';Modify'; any page style and select by default what page style will follow it by default (though you can always change this manually when writing.)
