Book Layout, Header issue > Author on one page and title on the other

Hi, I am trying to format my book. I want Author's name in the header on the left page (even) and the Book title on the right (odd) - Right now I can only do one. Kindly help.

You need to be in Page Layout mode, rather than word processing mode. Let's say I have inserted three pages to begin with:



and in the Document's panel, I have this selection:



In the right-most header segment of page one, I enter A Study In Scarlet, and on the left header segment of page 2, I enter Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Page 3 has the book title from page 1, and when I insert page 4, it automatically bears the author's name again in the expected header location.
