Can't make headers work on different doc pages

I created a legal pleading called probate pleadings. It has several subdocuments. I made it that way so I could use the custom properties on all the subdocuments. The first subdocument is the petition. The second is the notice. The next ones are several waivers.

The first page of every subdocument has a header with case style including the parties and the case number. The second pages on the subdocuments don’t have the header. Up to now all the subdocuments after the petition were a single page.

I used the document for some time with no problem. Recently I needed to make the waivers more than one page. When I did it put the header on the second page of the waivers. I tried several things using page styles to fix it including making new first page page styles that only turns the header on for the first page.

Sometimes it works on the first waiver, but there’s no header on subsequent waivers. When I try to change it on the second waiver it takes the header off the first waiver.

Please favor me with suggestions.

Thanks, Paul

OS name, exact LO version and save format.

It is next to impossible to diagnose without a sample file.

I use Windows 11. LO Vers. 7.6.0.3. I’m not sure what you mean by save format. Should I upload the doc I’m working on?

Do you save as native LibreOffice document .ods or are you saving in some foreign format such as MS Office .docx?

Please, but of course make sure there is no confidential information included.

Native LO.
