Information that you want to repeat at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of the pages in the document can be inserted using the Page Style dialog box (select Format, Page). Typically, you do not place headers and footers on the first page of a document. However, Writer provides the option of having a different header/footer on the first page of the document (as opposed to the header/footer on the rest of the document pages). Headers and footers are useful when you want to place a draft number on the pages of a document or place your name and the date on all the pages in the document. More importantly, you can automatically number the pages of the document by entering a page number field in a header or footer. Open Page Style Dialog
Enable Header/Footer
Tip Obviously, you can have both headers and footers on your document's pages. Enable both headers and footers in the Page Style dialog box, if you want to use both in your document. Set Header/Footer Properties
Enter Header/Footer Text
Insert Page Number and Other Fields
Tip You can have a different header and footer on the first page of your document, if you want. To place a header or footer on the first page, select Insert, Header, First Page (or Footer and then First Page). Then enter the first page header or footer information including any fields that you want to use. |
