I am an author and have finished my manuscript and formatted it to create a paperback. I have spent too many wasted hours trying to keep my headers and footers from constantly changing, especially when saving. For example, when I create the header on
an odd page using my name and a different header on an even page using the name of the novel, it works until I put page numbers on the odd and even pages. Then, my name or the novel name changes to be the same on both odd and even pages. Sometimes, my page
numbers start at the correct odd number, ex. 5, 6, 7, 8, but then they automatically change to 5, 8, 6, 8, 7, 8, 9, 8, etc. My frustration is that no matter how many times I try to format my pages, I end up with these problems. I've checked numerous resources,
but this issue is not addressed. Help, please!
If the document has multiple sections then the header footer selections apply to each section separately.
You need to setup the different odd and even page header footer option for each section
The headers and footers must be applied to each page option of each section:
Note that saving as PDF will not change anything if the document format itself is incorrect.
