I have a document with letterhead on the first page. When the document is long enough for a second page, my name and a date from several years ago appear at the top of the page. This text is not in the Header, but above it. I want to either delete this text or edit the date to automatically update. The text remains if I disable headers and/or footers in the Document tab.

Hi Viking,
Thanks for the correction.
That change was tapping on the door of my consciousness, hence the "or similar" in my post.
Happy to confirmI wasn't imagining it and to have the reference corrected!
