Convert .odt to plain text with header

[mdg1]

I have converted a .odt file to text using

soffice --convert-to “txt:Text (encoded):UTF8” --outdir “D:\My Documents\Office documents\Food\Website food” “D:\My Documents\Office documents\Food\Website food\Amatriciana.odt”

This created a .txt file containing the body of the document but not the header. I tried converting to pdf and the header was present as it was with the conversion to html.

Has anyone any suggestions please?
Mike.

Converting to .txt removes all formatting, notably styles. A header is a property of page styles. Since style information is erased, headers are also suppressed during conversion. Only the main text contents is kept in plain files.
