Description Alexandre Demers 2011-01-19 12:02:10 UTC

In some cases, it would be better to be able to specify on which side the header and footer are located. Here is a use case:

I'm writing a document in portrait mode. I have to insert a table which fits better in a landscape mode. Using landscape allows to add the table caption over it (as it should). However, I'd like my header and footer to stay on the short sides (portrait = up/down -> landscape = right/left) so my numerotation and foot notes still appears where they should when I'll print the final document.

Doing so will also require to put the header and footer text direction to RTL (vertical).

changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed.

If you have time please do the following:
1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer).
2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System

Please DO NOT
1) Update the version field
2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

Occasionally I need this too. I'm able to fix with a frame and rotated text .. possible, but not easy
