there are a lot of documents that you
may find that you need to insert a
header or footer the header and footer
are areas of a document at the top and
bottom of a page where you can enter
text or graphics that will appear on one
or all of the pages with long reports
you may want to insert page numbers in
the footer or the date in the header if
your resume is more than one page you
may want to insert your name in the
header or footer of the additional pages
you could insert copyright information
or even contact information there is a
lot of information that you might want
contained in the header and footer areas
to insert information into the header or
footer select the insert tab and click
either the header or footer command
let's see my newsletter could use a
footer and menu appears with the list of
built in footers you can use there are
some interesting ones hmm they're quite
colorful I think I'll just left click
blank to see it and do something simple
with the text the footer section becomes
active and is now open in my document
you can see that we're now on the design
tab where we have all of our header and
footer tools let's see I want to include
the date in the footer I can just type
it myself or click the date and time
command when I do that a dialog box
appears where I can select the date
format I'd like to use and then click OK
the date now appears in my footer I'd
also like to type edited by a learner
since I edited the newsletter it looks
good but I'd like to align the text to
do this just click the insert alignment
tab the dialog box appears and you can
choose to edit to the left the right or
center the text I think I'm going to
align mine to the right and then I'll
click OK now
there are a lot of other header and
footer options that you can take
advantage of from this tab you can
insert and format page numbers and
images if you have a multi page or
section document you can move from one
area to the next
if you're dealing with multiple pages
you may want to set specific numbering
options or even set specific positioning
and when you're done click the close
header and footer commands and it will
appear in your document now I'm done
working with my header and footers but
before I wrap up my newsletter I'm going
to really quickly tweak a couple of
things in newspapers books and
newsletters and some other publications
the text looks better with a justified
alignment
it just looks cleaner I also like to
Center some of my headers
yeah stands out a little more now that
you know how to insert headers and
footers into a document and have seen
some of the ways they can be used in
different documents why don't you give
it a try
