Creating Page Footers and Headers

Word allows you to add headers and footers to your document. Headers are nothing more than repeating text that appears at the top of every page of your printed document, whereas footers appear at the bottom of each page. The beauty of headers and footers is that they only have to be defined once, and then Word places them on your printed pages automatically. To define a page header or footer, do the following:

1. Choose Header and Footer from the View menu. You will see the Header and Footer dialog box, and a header box should appear at the top of the current page.
2. If desired, enter the information for the header, formatting it as you would format normal text in your document.
3. Click on the Switch Between Header and Footer tool on the dialog box.
4. If desired, enter the information for the footer, formatting it as you would format normal text in your document.
5. Click on Close when your headers and footers are defined the way you want them.
