Headers and Footers

[D. Small Gilligan]

I just opened publisher 2000 for the first time and do not have success with
mirrored headers.
I have given myself 6 pages, created a header and a footer on the background
layer, went through the mirrored pages routine and went back to the foreground
page. The footers mirror, but the header does not. What have I missed?

All Headers and Footers are are Text Frames on the Background page.
Setting up mirrored headers and footers sets up two mirrored Background
pages, and allows you to modify each one separately.
You will need to check all the text frames on the Background pages, to see
what's what.

If the Headers and Footers are setup on the Background, they should be on
each page.
The Mirrored Pages only mirrors the margins correctly for left and right
pages as when you are doing double sided printing as if you were doing a
book.

That is exactly what I'm doing. I made the setting on page 1, background (see
my original message) as per help instructions. Why would the footer work okay
through the six pages, but not the header?

I have finally accomplished the task: headers and footers, properly placed,
properly numbered with insert page numbers on the background while looking at
the two page spread. I am pretty accomplished at this in other programs, but
don't find publisher really intuitive - which is really okay. When you are using
a program for the first two or three times, I think some things don't "take"
right away. Thanks for giving info.
