Problem description: 
There is no option under Format -> Page -> Headers/Footers to unlink the text in the headers and footers. This is obviously a bug, because such obvious/simple/easy-to-program functionality has to have been implemented at some point, and just isn't showing up on my screen.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type stuff in a header or footer.
2. Watch as it is uselessly copied into other pages.
3. Repeat.

Current behavior:
Tick box for unlinking text in headers and footers is not showing up on the Format -> Page section.

Expected behavior:
Headers and footers should do what I tell them, not MSWord decided they should do 7 years ago. That means not repeating my f--king tertiary source references on every page. 

Platform (if different from the browser): Arch Linux.

Sounds like a user error, may be he should read the f--- manual; this is not a valid bug report.

You can use any other office suite you like if LibO does not satisfy your needs. This is not the place for moaning.

If you believe you have good suggestions how to improve LibO and you want to reopen this Bug, may be hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> will help you to find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem. If you believe that that  is really sophisticated please as for Help on a user mailing list
Please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot)
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem (due to example in Bug 43431)
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your LibO version and localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts
