Insert Headers, Footers, Footnotes and Endnotes

Create the page header and footer

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option.

A dotted line marks off the header area at the top of the page and the footer area at the bottom of the page. This dotted line is at a position set using the Page Parameters dialog (File | Page Layout).

Within each of these two areas, a paragraph marker displays to indicate where the text will sit relative to the top and bottom edges of the paper. This position is also defined on the Page Parameters dialog.

You can type in any kind of free-form or formatted text and insert icons as you wish. You would normally work well within the defined areas for the header and footer, but if the text exceeds the area, the dotted lines simply move to accommodate the text.

Print Documents

Edit or delete the page header and footer text

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option, move the cursor to the text and make any changes required. If you need to, delete the text altogether.

Create separate header and footer for the initial page of the document

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option to access the header and footer text spaces.

Select the Edit | First Page Header/Footer option and either:

A paragraph marker displays at the top or bottom of the first page of the document. If you want specific text to display on the first page of the document, type it in and format it.

Alternatively, leave the spaces blank so that the first page has no header or footer text.

Display the common document header and footer on the initial page

If you have created a separate initial page header and/or footer and now want to display the same header and footer text on the initial page as is shown on subsequent pages of the document, you specifically delete the 'first page header/footer' assignment.

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option to access the header and footer text spaces.

Select the Edit | First Page Header/Footer menu option and either:

The 'first page' assignment and text are removed from the first page header and/or footer spaces.

Create separate header and footer for left-hand pages

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option to access the header and footer text spaces.

Select the Edit | Left Page Header/Footer option and either:

Scroll to the nearest left-hand page and in the header or footer space type in any kind of free-form or formatted text and insert icons as you wish.

This text displays on every left-hand page in the section or, if there are no sections, in the document.

Format your document to put left-hand page information on pages with left-hand headers and footers. For example, in English language documents, even-numbered pages are usually left-hand pages.

Create separate header and footer for right-hand pages

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option to access the header and footer text spaces.

Select the Edit | Right Page Header/Footer option and either:

Scroll to the nearest right-hand page and in the header or footer space type in any kind of free-form or formatted text and insert icons as you wish.

Format your document to put right-hand page information on pages with right-hand headers and footers. For example, in English language documents, odd-numbered pages are usually right-hand pages, and sections such as Title, Introduction and Table of Contents start on right-hand pages.

Delete left or right page headers and footers

Select the Edit | <side> Page Header/Footer option (where <side> is either Left or Right)and either:

You are prompted to confirm the deletion; click on the Yes button.

Left and Right page headers or footers balance each other. If you create one, the system responds as if the other exists but is blank. If you delete one, the system responds as if the other is the 'common' header/footer for the section, and all page headers now contain that remaining text.

Close and protect headers and footers

Select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option again, and check that you cannot   move the cursor into the header and footer spaces.
