Adding Headers and Footers


Almost all books have headers and footers. Reading them is one thing, but you might think that creating them is a tougher deal. Actually, creating headers and footers is pretty simple in Word, even if you decide to use sections and want to vary the text from page to page. Here is the process:

  • To insert a header or footer in your document, choose Header And Footer from the View menu. Type your text in the window that appears, and use the Header and Footer tools shown in Table 6-2 to customize the text as needed. Click outside the text area to return to the document.

  • To remove a header or footer, display it by choosing Header And Footer from the View menu. Click in the item and press Ctrl+A; then press Delete.

  • To insert a page number in a header or footer, position the cursor and click the Insert Page Number tool. To format the page number, use the Format Page Number tool.

Aha! ”Expanding and Viewing Headers

You can create multiline headers and footers by pressing Enter at the end of the first line. This gives you room for more text. To see how the page will look when printed (headers, footers, and all), click the Print Preview tool on the Standard toolbar.
