Default Why does my header/footer info change when I change text on thepa

You might want to decouple your Header style from whatever it may have
been based on anyway -- in the Styles & Formatting panel, rightclick
on the name of the style, choose Modify, and near the top of the
panel, delete whatever is in the box "Based on." Then if you find
Automatically Update useful for other purposes, it won't mess with
your headers.

anyway.

I'm creating a document template to create procedures in my office so that
the header/footer of every document is the same (with exception of the
