Adding document headers and footers

Adding document headers and footers

You can set up a document so that the same text or graphic appears on every page. Recurring text that appears at the top of the page is called a header; at the bottom of the page it's called a footer.

In word-processing documents, you can use the Section command in the Format menu to create different headers or footers for even and odd pages, or for different sections of a document. If you don't want your headers or footers to appear on the first page of your document, you can set up a title page.

Inserting a header or footer

To insert a header or footer:

1 Choose Insert Header or Insert Footer from the Format menu.

2 Create or paste text or graphics in the header or footer area as you would in the main text area.

To include the date, time, or page number, choose the appropriate command from the Edit menu.

Note: The default text formatting of headers and footers differs from that of the main document. You can use the text formatting commands and controls. You can also change the default formatting by changing the header or footer style.

3 To continue working, click in the main text area.

Removing a header or footer

To remove a header or footer from all pages (or, in a document with sections, from the current section):

• Choose Remove Header or Remove Footer from the Format menu.
