We have a number of templates in Google Docs that all use the exact same header and footer. Every time we update the header and footer, we have to manually go through each template and update its header and footer.
Is there a way to set it up so that the headers and footers in all templates will automatically update upon a change?
Doesn't appear to be so. Google Docs isn't a full-fledged word processor after all.
What happens when text from one page gets pushed over to the other? Do they both get new revision numbers? Is it automatic?
Did you try uploading one of your Word documents and seeing how Google Docs converted it?
You might be able to fake something up by using the footnote feature in a non-standard way. Insert a footnote at the top of the page and the text for it should appear at the bottom of that page.
Whatever way you do it you're going to have to manually update each time.
Maybe things have since changed or you weren't doing it right. This works for me:
though for testing I have only print viewed it:

There is no built-in way to do that but you could use Google Apps Script of the Google Documents API to build a script/add-on/program that do that.
