Shades property sheet
Here you can specify a shaded or patterned background for the frame.
The options on this property sheet correspond to those for the Format > Shading
command (see section “Shading” beginning on page 92).
Different headers/footers on the first page
The header and footer are parts of the so-called master page (see also section
“Master pages” beginning on page 108). By default, the content of the master page
is repeated on every page of the document.
If required, you can specify that a different master page should be used for the first
page of the document (including a different header and footer). This is useful
when, for example, you plan to print the first page of a letter to a pre-printed
letterhead and the pages 2 and following to plain white paper.
To achieve this, invoke the Format > Chapter command and activate the option
Different first page. From now on, headers and footers on the first page can be
edited independently from the rest of the document.
Different headers/footers on left and right pages
In books, different headers and footers are often used on left and right facing
pages. For example, on left pages of manuals, the page number is usually flush left
in the footer and on right pages it is flush right.
To enable different headers and footers for left and right facing pages, proceed as
follows:
1. Invoke the Format > Chapter command.
2. Check the Different left and right pages option.
You will now be able to set up different headers and footers for left and right facing
pages.
More precisely: When you set up or edit a header on any left page of the document,
the header for the right pages will remain untouched. Likewise, changes to the
header on any right page will affect only the right pages.
The same goes, of course, for footers.
