Header or footer link to previous:

We can see that the option in theHeader or footer link to previousis gray and unable to be checked. How can we set it?

This function can only be used for segmented or sectioned articles.

We can click theSection Navigation Panebutton in theSectiontab. In the left navigation bar, we can see that the article has been sectioned by title. Detailed tutorial ofSectioncan be studied in the right column. At this time, both the odd and even page headers of the document are the same.

We can see that the headers and footers of even and odd pages in theHeader or footer link to previousare linked to those in the previous section. So the full text will be changed if any header or footer is revised.
