Well, I provided a bad example. What I'm being asked to do
is pretty close to the latest format from MLA. The only
difference is that outside the margin thing. I don't know
where that's from, but that's what I have to do.
If I can't get styles to work, I'll try your technique.
Thanks,

I am working on a research paper. The required page
layout puts last name, working title, and page number in
the upper right hand corner of each page, outside the
right hand margin. It is similar to what is shown here,
but has to appear on every page, not just the first page,
and has to be outside the right margin and closer to the
top of the page.

Aargh! To follow that, you might want to time-travel to
the previous millennium and purchase a typewriter!
How can this be done in LO Writer?
Fairly easily, I think. First, the page margins are the
printing limits, so you need to set these wide enough to
contain the extra material at the top of each page. Now
insert a header, using Insert | Header, and enter the
required material.
Now your only problem is that you need the main text not
to spread as far as your newly extended right margin.
There are probably a number of ways to do that; the
easiest may be to modify your paragraph style.
Right-click in the text and go to Edit Paragraph Style...
| Indents & Spacing | Indent and set the "After text"
value to however much you extended the right margin to
accommodate your header. This will move the paragraph
margin for all your text back to where you want it. (This
won't work if you have applied contradictory local
paragraph formatting, of course. If necessary, use Format
| Default Formatting (or Ctrl+M) to remove this.)
I trust this helps.
