[Solved]Different headings in different chapters i OO Writer

[EinarFlydal]

I have tired inserting Sections to have different headings in different Chapters in my book manuscript.
However, when I write a new heding in the top text for, say, Chapter 2, also the top text in Chapter 1 changes.
What should I do to avoid this?
I work on a manuscript with 17 Chapters.

Would be greatful...

I use a Field, entered in the long form /Insert /Fields /Other: Document tab : Type Chapter, Format Chapter name, level 2 .

My Level 1 Chapter entries are the Chapter numbers (Heading 1 style, autonumbering), Level 2 are the Chapter names, (Heading 2 style).

Sections are the MS Word way to do this. Sections are a totally different thing in AOO.

For those attempting to use Chapters in OO Writer, this article may be helpful:
Chapter Headings

Inserting each chapter into an OO Writer Section permits that chapter to be displayed on a different coloured background, Write protected (locked in some languages) or hidden, this can speed moving about a document while editing. Use of Sections is not essential to define the Chapter structure in Writer.

Finally, I understood it, by a lot of trial and error, and there are still effects that I do not understand why pop up. There are so many tools to check. But IT WORKS.
Thank you for your assistance!

It is always useful to test out some advanced OO facilities on a short test document. Remember that DT <F3 key> can give you a paragraph of dummy text.
