In books, different headers and footers are often used on left-hand and right-hand pages. This makes it possible, for example, to output the page number on the left in the footer of left-hand pages and on the right in the footer of right-hand pages.

To enable different headers and footers for left-hand and right-hand pages, proceed as follows:

You can now create different headers and footers for left-hand and right-hand pages.

More specifically: If you now create or edit a header on any left-hand page of the document, the header for the right-hand pages will remain unaffected. Likewise, changes to the header on any right-hand page will affect only the right-hand pages.

The same applies, of course, to footers.
