For the convenience of working with text and its design in Microsoft Word, there is a special function that allows you to create headers and footers on the page. In them, you can easily put down the numbering of the document, links and many other useful information.

Computer running Microsoft Word
Instructions
Step 1
Header and footer is a piece of text that is located in a special field located at the top or bottom of the page. The placement of headers and footers in a text editor depends primarily on its version.
Step 2
To set headers and footers in Microsoft Word 2003, open the required document, select the "View" tab on the toolbar, and in it - "Headers and Footers". The panel of the same name has opened in front of you, and a special field for data entry has appeared on the page, in which the text of your footer will be located.
Step 3
Enter the required information in this field. It can be text, a table, or even a picture. If you want to put the date, time or page number there, click on the "Insert AutoText" panel and select the desired item.
Step 4
To change the information in the headers and footers, double-click the field with the header or footer, or select "View" and "Headers and Footers" from the menus. To delete it, select the header and footer in the same way and press the Delete key on the keyboard.
Step 5
You can insert headers and footers into a Microsoft Word 2007 document using the "Insert" item. When you click on it, a toolbar will appear. Select the required header and footer in it (header, footer or page number). After that, in the drop-down menu, click on the type of design you like for the header and footer - and it will appear on the page in the place you need.
Step 6
When the header or footer appears, the Design toolbar opens. With it, you can change the header and footer text, width, align it to the desired edge, easily navigate to the headers and footers of other sections, or switch between the header and footer margins. You can also set different headers and footers for odd and even pages, or select a separate one for the first page. To delete, select it and press Delete.
