Headers cascading to other sections that don't have headers defined - Using 6.0.3

[ccapps0]

Hello,

I'm running into a weird "issue"...or dev error... I am adding a section that contains a header and then adding another without a header defined. The header defined in the first section is showing up in the second section where no header is defined. The second section should not have a header in it.

Imagine constants table1, paragraph1, table2, paragraph2, and header1. See example below:

doc.addSection({
children: [table1, paragraph1]
headers: header1
});

doc.addSection({ // the header defined in the section above is showing up in this section.
children: [table2, paragraph2]
});

Is this behavior correct?

Seems like this is a bug yes

Strange

A work around would be to make a blank header/footer

In docx 5.5.0 it intentionally sets a blank header, which was removed in PR:

#829

To address:

#251

Maybe this was the change which broke it?

Embarrassingly, I was using docx 5.4.1, not 5.5. I skipped 5.5 and went to 6 (now 6.0.3).

I see the workaround in #251 where they set the margins to null in the overall document. That seems like a better solution to my problem versus setting the run size to 2.

Thanks for getting me informed.

Actually... I'm not seeing a way to set header margins. Was this removed?

[dolanmiu]

Not removed, you can see it being done here:

It looks a bit unintuiative, but this is how OOXML and Microsoft Word does it

Thanks!
