Add Headers and Footers

To use the same header and footer throughout your report, just click Header and Footer (View menu), and then add the text.

  To use different headers or footers in different parts of your report:

1  Divide your report into sections. Position the insertion point where you want a new header or footer to begin. Click Break (Insert menu), and under Section breaks click Next page.

      Same as Previous button

2  Break the “link” with the previous header or footer (because Word makes all headers or footers the same as previous ones in the report). Position the insertion point after the new section break, click Header and Footer (View menu), and then make sure the Same as Previous button is not pushed in. If you’re creating different headers and different footers, make sure you break the link for both.

3  Type the new text for the new header or footer.

Add headers and footers more easily   Create AutoText entries for headers or footers you use frequently, or use one of the built-in AutoText entries available from the Header and Footer toolbar. For information on how to create an AutoText entry, see Make Writing Easier. Want to use page numbers such as “1 of 25”?   Use the built-in AutoText entry. Click the Insert AutoText button on the Header and Footer toolbar, and then click Page X of Y.
