Headers And Footers
Overview
Pick up any printed report and look at the very top and bottom of each page. The title, the page number, the date, perhaps a logo: these live in the header and the footer, and they repeat on every page without the author retyping them. It is a small feature that makes a document look finished and professional, and in the practical papers it is a reliable source of marks, because the instructions are exact and easy to follow once you understand the tools.
In this lesson you will learn what headers and footers are and why documents use them, how to create and edit them in different packages, how to align their contents consistently to the left margin, the right margin or centred within the margins, and how to place automated objects such as the filename and path, page numbers, the total number of pages, the date and the time, so that they always stay correct.
