Right now, in order to add repeating-page elements to a document, you open up
the header and footer and type what you want repeated in the supplied area.

Some elements can be moved outside this area, some can't..
TEXT remains in the header and footer area, which makes sense.
DRAWN ELEMENTS can be placed or moved outside the header and footer while still
anchored an empty paragraph inside, which is good for designing pages.

However, FRAMES and GRAPHICS are forced to stay in the vertical area defined by
headers and footers.  This is somewhat annoying, especially if you want to mix
design and function to the repeating elements in your page.  For instance, what
if you wanted to add page numbers and other information in the middle of the
page, rather than the upper or lower corner?

This is something that Microsoft Word can do, so it would be nice to see it
matched by OpenOffice.
