Insert section names in header or footer?

Does Pages for Mac not have the ability to add section names to headers or footers (or other variables, such as date/time of last save)?


In Word, it's as easy as going to Insert > Field and picking from a multitude of options.

Pages has the ability to insert only those items listed in the Insert menu (and presented in black, not grey, in the environment currently active).


You can add section names to page headers (or footers) using Copy/Paste or Copy/Edit>Paste and Match Style (which would change the size and colour of your example "Introduction" to match the style used in the page header).


Date/Time of last save would need to be entered 'manually,' using the Insert > Date and Time item in the Insert menu. This initially inserts only the Date, with time set to 00:00:00 and not displayed. See the Help files for direction rgrding including the Time part set to the current time of day.
