Different headers on even and odd pages?

Hello Essington,

do the following:
1) Activate the "Facing Pages" setting in the Document inspector of the infopalette.
2) Choose the Section tab button of the Layout inspector and activate the "Left and right pages are different" checkbox.
3) Click inside the left header and insert the text with the adjustments you need (left aligned, etc.).
4) Make a paragraph style of this.
5) Do this with the right sided header, too. But give it a right aligned text.
6) If the left and right footer should be different styled as the headers, give them different styles as well.

Now every time new pages are created, the left and right headers and footers will be inserted with the assigned styles and texts. If you want to give the first page a different header and footer, activate the checkbox "First page is different" inside the Section tab button of the Layout inspector.

This you can do for every section (created by a section break). If you want to have different headers and footers for the sections, you have to deactivate the setting "Use previous headers and footers" in the Configuration section of the Layout inspector.

Essington,

if you insert a new template page, this template has it's own settings for headers and footers. Because to insert a template page places a section break as well. For this there is the setting "Use previous headers & footers" under the "Section" tab button in the "Layout" inspector.

I am using section breaks for chapters. And when a new chapter starts, I am setting the "First page is different" flag to have no header but footer for page numbering and the next page the different headers for left and right pages are also different from the previous chapter (because there is the books name and the chapter title in them).

I press all my thumbs for a new version of Pages in the tomorrow Keynote.
