headers and footers can display things
like the page number date or company
name in the top and bottom margins of
your document not only do they make that
information easier to reference they
also add a nice professional touch to
insert a header footer or page numbering
start by going to insert then select
header and page number I'd like to show
you how headers work first your cursor
appears in a special area set off from
the rest of the document here you can
add your information in this example
we're going to include the name of the
organization and the title of the
document we're also going to add some
formatting to the header using familiar
options like font color and size these
are the same commands you use to format
regular text so they're very easy to use
when you're done press the Escape key on
your keyboard or click anywhere else in
the document this will disable editing
the header or footer so you can continue
working to re-enable editing click the
header again now I forgot that I wanted
to add page numbers to my header if you
want the word page to be included go
ahead and type that now now go to insert
her over header and page number then
select page number you'll see four
options for the page number placement
you can choose the top of the page or
the bottom of the page you can also have
the page numbers start after a cover
page in this example I want the page
numbers to be at the top of the page you
can also add the page count to your
header or footer which will display the
total number of pages in your document
all you have to do is type the word of
after the page number then go back to
insert and this time choose page count
from the menu
and there we go let's scroll down so you
can see how it works of course this is
page 1 and here we have page 2 out of 3
pages total there I think I'm finished
with my newsletter now you know how to
enhance your document using headers
footers and page numbers
