Headers & Footers

  1. Header & Footer
    Use
    A header can include the name of the project/paper and page number or either of the two while the footer can include the names of the team members and/or other copyright information .

    How to
    To include a header, click on VIEW and select HEADER AND FOOTER. This highlights the area of the Header where you can type in the name of your project. To insert page numbers, use the toolbox (pop-up window) which appears along with the header. This toolbox has options to insert the page number, date, time etc.
    Now to edit the footer, again use the toolbox and click on the icon which switches between the Header and Footer. Once the footer area is highlighted, you can enter your name and other relevant information in the footer.

The content of the header and footer appear on all the pages of your document and are common for all the pages in the document.
