    To create a header or footer, choose View/Header and Footer - displays boxed header and footer areas.  Type the text inside the appropriate box, and format the text as required.  When done, click Close on the toolbar.

     

    Setting Up Discontinuous Headers or Footers

    To change the contents of headers or footers between pages or groups or page, first set up separate sections for pages that require unique headers or footers.  To insert section breaks, place the cursor where you want a new section to begin, then choose Insert/Break box, then type a name for your style and choose from the Section break types.  After setting up the sections, choose View/Header and Footer.  Click the icon of two connected pages to deactivate it.  This makes a header or footer that is different from the previous sectio.

     

    Setting Up Repeating Page Elements

    To place repeating graphics or other items on a page, go the Print Layout View and choose View/Header and Footer.  Turn on the Drawing toolbar (Vies/Toolbars/Drawing) and use the Text Box tool to draw a box anywhere on the page.  Whatever you place in the box (text or graphics) appears on every page.  Click Close on the Header and Footer toolbar when done.

    A style is a collection of formatting features (e.g. size, color, alignment) that can be used to quickly format text in your documents.
