Headers and footers are areas at the top and bottom of a document, respectively, that contain information such as page numbers, document title, author name, and date. Adding headers and footers can help to organize a document and make it easier to navigate. Here are the steps to insert header and footer in Microsoft Word:
- Open the document in Microsoft Word.
- Click on the Insert tab in the top toolbar.
- Click on either the Header or Footer button, depending on which one you want to insert. A drop-down menu will appear with various options.
- Choose the type of header or footer you want to insert. There are several options, such as Blank, Page Number, Date & Time, and more. Select the one that best suits your needs.
- Once you have selected the header or footer type, it will be inserted into the document. You can then customize the content of the header or footer as per your requirements.
- To edit the header or footer, simply double-click on it, and it will open in the editing mode. You can add or modify the content as required.
- When you're done editing the header or footer, simply click outside of the header or footer area to exit editing mode.
In addition to the above steps, you can also use the Header & Footer Tools tab that appears when you are working in the header or footer area to add more elements such as images, tables, or other formatting options. You can also use the different options provided in the 'Design' tab under the Header & Footer Tools tab to modify the design of the header or footer.
