Header with custom text on each page in Writer


I have a large document in two columns to which I want to add a header on each page. The problem is that headers must contain the same text, except for things like page numbers, and I want to have different text on each page.

I thought of using a frame for the header, but it would have to be inserted manually into every page.

I tried defining a pair of sections, the second with two columns, but when I put text into the second section it just overwrote the first. Even if it didn't, I suspect that the sections would have to be created for each page.

I've got the manual (all 536 pages of it) but it doesn't address my problem (or much else, for that matter). This seems such a simple requirement. An I missing something?

Will it not be necessary to insert the header text manually on every page anyway, because you require "different text on each page"?
