Hi,

(i) in Mathematica there is the option Format > Edit Stylesheet. In version 5.2 
there are two buttons "*Import Private Copy*" (1) and "*Edit Shared Stylesheet*" 
(2).
   - in case (2) modifications of the edited stylesheet affect ALL Mathematica 
notebooks using this particular stylesheet;
   - in case (1) only a Private Copy of the stylesheet modified (which is 
associated with that particular notebook) is involved.
The main advantage of feature (1) is that the particular Mathematica notebook 
carries its own definition of a stylesheet so that, when opened on another 
Mathematica installation, the private stylesheet copy associated with this 
particular notebook is used instead of the default stylesheet.
However, in Mathematica V7 and V8 I have not discovered this (favorable) 
feature. Does someone know a trick how to import a private stylesheet copy for Mathematica V8 notebooks ?

(ii) In Mathematica V7 using File > Printing Settings > Headers and Footers... 
there is a window which allows individual adjustment for Footer and Header 
information, e.g.
  - for page header there is the insertion : 
Cell[TextData[{ValueBox["FileName"]}],"Header"] ,
  - for page footer there is : Cell[TextData[{CounterBox["Page"]}], "PageNumber"].

In Mathematica V8 for header/footer selection a new window opens with choice of 
Left/Right Page e.g. > Header: <<FileName>> and Footer: <<Page>> .
Additional options are given in a pull-down menu |>  File Name | Date | Page 
Number | Total Pages ... While page numbering works fine for printout the file 
name option does not work although selected. What goes wrong?

Any help is appreciated.
