How to Align Text to the Left and Right in Header and Footer?

I want to align text to both the left and right sides of the header and footer in LibreOffice, as shown in the attached screenshots. In the header, one part of the text should appear on the left (e.g., the title), while another part should align to the right (e.g., the project type). Similarly, for the footer, I need to position the author name on the left and the page number on the right. How can I achieve this layout?

Header,

Footer,

The default header/footer setup is with a centered tab stop in the middle and a right-align tab stop at the right margin. Just press the tab key (two long arrows, one above the other ; just above the caps lock on most keyboards) so the cursor jumps to the right (you will have to push it twice unless the left content goes past the middle tab stop), enter your desired content and it will stay right aligned.

If you need better control with header/footer layout (content placement), you can insert a table, probably best to start with one row and two or three columns. Each table cell can then have content aligned independently from the other cells. You may want to have a table without borders.
