WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:16.059 Headers and footers can display things like the page number, date, or company name in 00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:18.770 the top and bottom margins of your document. 00:00:18.770 --> 00:00:24.020 Not only do they make those things easier to reference - they also add a nice, professional 00:00:24.020 --> 00:00:25.020 touch. 00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:31.710 To insert a header, footer, or just page numbering, start by going to Insert, then the Header 00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:33.110 & Footer group. 00:00:33.110 --> 00:00:35.350 I'd like to show you how Headers work. 00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:39.690 You can choose one of the blank options at the top, or scroll down for something with 00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:42.690 a little more style. 00:00:42.690 --> 00:00:46.160 Notice the Design tab appears along with the header. 00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:50.670 For now, I'm just going to go ahead and type my information into these boxes, which are 00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:52.900 called Content Controls. 00:00:52.900 --> 00:00:57.120 Most of the built-in headers and footers have them, for things like the name of your company 00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:04.680 or, in this case, the document title. 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.970 Now I don't really need this next field (the one for the author's name), so I'm going to 00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:10.920 remove it all together. 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:16.650 Just right-click, Remove Content Control, and it's taken care of. 00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:21.310 When you're done, you can close the header or footer by clicking here. 00:01:21.310 --> 00:01:25.570 To edit it again, you'll need to unlock that part of your document by double-clicking it 00:01:25.570 --> 00:01:27.500 like this. 00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:31.860 I forgot that I wanted to include the date, maybe right here where the other Content Control 00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:33.580 used to be. 00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:38.229 Just click Date & Time, then choose how you want the date to appear. 00:01:38.229 --> 00:01:43.380 It'll stay at today's date, even if you edit the document again next week, unless you check 00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:47.740 the box to update it automatically. 00:01:47.740 --> 00:01:50.190 Let's take a look at page numbers next. 00:01:50.190 --> 00:01:53.680 The header I chose doesn't have them, but they're really easy to add. 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.930 First, I need to place my cursor exactly where I want the numbering to go. 00:01:58.930 --> 00:02:03.750 Now we can go to Page Number to look over the different options. 00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:06.820 Top of Page and Bottom of Page are tricky. 00:02:06.820 --> 00:02:11.780 They will add numbering to your document, but in the place of your header or footer. 00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:15.950 Sometimes that's what you want, but right now, I'm just trying to add numbering to the 00:02:15.950 --> 00:02:17.700 header I have. 00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:21.120 That's what Page Margins and Current Position are for. 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.620 Current Position will put it right where my cursor is, and... that looks great - that's 00:02:26.620 --> 00:02:29.670 exactly where I wanted it. 00:02:29.670 --> 00:02:35.770 You can even format the page number by going back to Page Number, Format, and choosing 00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:37.740 a style from the list. 00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:43.660 There are numbers, letters, and Roman numerals. 00:02:43.660 --> 00:02:48.110 Here's another trick, if you have a cover page like I do, and you don't want any headers, 00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:50.890 footers, or numbers to appear on it. 00:02:50.890 --> 00:02:55.620 You can click Different First Page, and the header will disappear from the first page, 00:02:55.620 --> 00:02:59.800 but start back up on the second. 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.660 There are still lots of other options, ranging from pictures to position. 00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:09.129 So take some time to explore the Design tab, try different things, and learn about all 00:03:09.129 --> 00:03:34.050 the options associated with headers, footers, and numbering.
