Introduction
You can make your document look professional and polished by utilizing the header and footer sections. The header is a section of the document that appears in the top margin, while the footer is a section of the document that appears in the bottom margin. Headers and footers generally contain information such as the page number, date, and document name.
In this lesson, you will learn how to insert and edit headers and footers.
Headers and footers
Headers and footers can help keep longer documents organized and make them easier to read. Text entered in the header or footer will appear on each page of the document.
To insert a header or footer:
- Select the Insert tab.
- From the drop-down menu, select Blank to insert a blank header or footer, or choose one of the built-in options.
- The Design tab will appear on the Ribbon, and the header or footer will appear in the document.
- Type the desired information into the header or footer.
To insert the date or time into a header or footer:
- Place a check mark in the Update Automatically box if you would like it to always reflect the current date. Otherwise, it will not change when the document is opened at a later date.
To remove content controls:
By default, some of the built-in headers and footers have snippets of text that are called content controls. Content controls can contain information such as the document title or company name, and they allow you to enter this information into a form field.
However, you’ll often just want to type a normal header without any content controls. To do this, you’ll need to remove any content control fields from the header or footer.
Other header and footer options
There are many other header and footer options you can use to design these sections of your document. You can review the Header & Footer Tools Design tab to view and explore these options.
Adding page numbers
Word can automatically label each page with a page number and place it in a header, footer, or side margin. You can add page numbers to an existing header or footer, or you can insert page numbers into a new header or footer.
To add page numbers to an existing header or footer:
- Select the header or footer. The Design tab will appear.
- Place the insertion point where you want the page number to be. You can place it anywhere except inside a content control field.
- From the Design tab, select the Page Number command.
If you’ve already typed information into your header or footer, it’s important to place the page number at the Current Position to avoid losing anything. If you select a page number from Top of Page or Bottom of Page, it will delete anything you’ve already added to the header or footer.
To insert page numbers into a new header or footer:
To hide the page number on the first page:
In some documents, you may not want the first page to show the page number. You can hide the first page number without affecting the rest of the pages.
- Select the header or footer that contains the page number.
- From the Design tab, place a check mark next to Different First Page. The header and footer will disappear from the first page. If you want, you can type something new in the header or footer, and it will only affect the first page.
To format page numbers:
- Select the header or footer that contains the page number.
- From the Design tab, select the Page Number command.
If you’ve created a page number in the side margin, it’s still considered part of the header or footer. You won’t be able to select the page number unless the header or footer is selected.
An alternative way to modify your page numbering is by using section breaks. To learn how to do this, read our article on Modifying Page Numbers in Word.
Challenge!
- Create a new Word document.
- Create a blank header.
- Add your name in the header of a document.
- Right-align the text in the header.
- Select a built-in footer.
