Deleting a Header or Footer

Summary: Headers and footers can be helpful, but at some time you may just want to delete them completely. Doing so is almost as easy as deleting regular text, once you jump into the header or footer area. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

If you want to delete the headers or footers, follow these steps:

  1. Position the insertion point in the section that has the header you want to delete.
  2. If you are using Normal or Outline view, choose Header and Footer from the View menu. In Print Layout view, you can simply double-click on the Header or Footer you want to delete. You will see the Header and Footer dialog box, and the header area of the page.
  3. If you want to delete the footer, click on the Switch icon in the Header and Footer dialog box.
  4. Select the contents of the header or footer.
  5. Press the Del key, or press Ctrl+X.
  6. Click on Close.

Tip #259 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
