Header & Footer Headers and Footers
A header is any text or image that appears in the top margin of a
page. A footer is any text or image that appears in the bottom margin of a page.
Text entered in the header or footer will appear on every
page of the document. Purpose of Headers and Footers Headers and footers are needed to make sure that each page have elements like the page number, book/document/chapter, logo, titles, filename, etc. placed consistently within them. If these are placed in the header or footer, they only have to be placed once but will repeat on every page. This saves the author a great deal of time and effort, not having to duplicate their work on every page. Headers and footers help in keeping longer documents organized and easier to read. Activity 1 Open your document ‘Bike Pack.docx’ Place in the header your full name, center aligned. Place in the footer date, left aligned and automated page numbers, right aligned. Save the document.
Make sure that:
all the alignments match the page margins. no other text or placeholders are included in the header/footer. headers and footers are displayed on all pages. Columns Adding Columns in a document ● Columns can be used to give a layout similar to that found in a newspaper. ● You may be required to format a document, or part of a document into a number of columns.
How to add columns?
Layout Columns More columns choose the number of columns Activity 2 Open the document ‘Types of flowers.docx’ Place the following text in the header: → GMAK – left aligned → ICT assignment – center aligned
Place automated page number in the footer, starting at 3.
It has to be right aligned. Change the page layout so that all the text except the heading is displayed in two columns with a 2cm space between the columns. Thank you…
