I realize I also don't quite understand how to preformat the header
and footer of each page.  I feel like this should be possible, as at
least some footer info is generated by default (page number in centre
of footer).  But despite some inspection of both ox-odt.el and the
styles.xml and content.xml of my exported document, I can't figure out
how the content of the footer is determined.

Thanks again!
