Headers+and+Footers

Using headers and footers is a good way to identify the different pages of a document. Whether it's numbering the pages, putting your name on them, or adding the date to a page. You enter a header/footer by going to the Insert tab on the Ribbon and clicking either the Header or Footer menu. Then, you can select any type of header or footer that will suit your needs for the document. Then, an outlined box will appear where the header will be and a "Header and Footer design" toolbar will appear at the top. All of the options to insert into a header are on the Ribbon. You can insert the page number, date, time, and graphics. You can also schose to change the size of the header/footer, change what's on the first or last page and so much more. The header and footer feature on Microsoft Word 2007 is a very useful tool for documents of all types. Personally, I use a header or footer on almost every paper I write. Along with being able to display a name or title, headers allow companies to make flyers where the header contains dates and times to distribute and various periods of times. Microsoft Word 2007 allows for inserting and modfying the date and time very easily This option allows for the most recent flyers or whatever the business is releasing.
