Description Frank Schönheit 2006-10-11 14:14:43 UTC 
(cleaning up my Sun-internal intray: There's no reason why this bug, internally
known as number 110806, couldn't be public.)

Currently, it is not possible to insert form controls in Writer in a page header
or footer. This is prohibited at the UI, since there are various technical problems.

To get an idea of those problems, insert a control in the repeating heading row
of a table and let the table break at a page end. Then you should have two controls.

For reasons of interoperability with other office suite products, we should
allow for controls in headers/footers.
