Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78774
„footer“ and „header“ exist, but unfortunately nothing similar for the right/left/inner/outer border of a page

Would be nice to have a „footer“ also for right/left/ maybe not inner, but outer border of a page. (Would be nice too, if one could write there rotated 90°.)
This could be achieved when activating Asian Layout in Tools.Options.Language. Then there should be an additional option in Format.Page. Does this meet your requirements?
Closed.
> Does this meet your requirements? It‘s really an interisting trick (but who can find this out), but it‘s not yet the real goal. I‘d like the page-number at the outer boarder of a page. I can take a landscape-format and switch-on the footer, but the text in the footer doesn‘t turn. So the page-number is readable in another direction than the text.
Please implement header/footer for inner/outer page border.
This can easily be archived using frames. When anchored to a header/footer paragraph, a frame is repeated on all pages (that use the same page style). Within the frame, you can rotate your text by 90° or 270° using character styles. This applies also to fields (e.g. page number). So I'm not sure if we really need headers/footers for inner/outer page borders. However, something like this is sometimes needed when you insert a single landscape page, and want it to have the same header/footer as the other (portrait) pages have.
