Do I understand well that this is not about "header missing", it's there on print preview, but it's about missing "page layout" view? Which is an enhancement then.

Hi, I have found this bug report as of having problems with header/footer at XLSX files not showing at LibreOffice 6.3.3.2 at print preview and after export as PDF, so for me is not just an issue of not having a 'page layout view'.

I have created the file in LibreOffice, added a header with an image (preset or custom imported one), saved as XLSX. Close the file and open it again, the image won't appear (and in case the image is the only element in the header/footer -no text-, the header/footer won't appear altogether -including removing the margins defined for it).

Same if file was created with Excel, or created/manipulated with a python or NodeJS library.

It seems a compatibility issue with XLSX.

I can confirm @IagoSRL (even in 6.4.1)

This is a **major bug**.

All images in header/footer are not saved when in XLSX format (does work when saved in ODF format).

In my opinion XLSX compatibility is key, so it should be fixed ASAP

THE SEVERITY IS NOT ENHANCEMENT BUT MAJOR

This is a poorly worded report from us, sorry.

The example file was switched to Page Layout View in Excel and this setting can be saved to XLSX.

Opening in Calc there is no Page layout view at all (bug #109230) so the setting cannot be activated.
