To configure headers and footers, follow the steps below:

1.Place the cursor on any page in the section where you want to change the headers or footers.

2.Switch to the header or footer editing mode using one of the following methods:

•On the Insert tab, click t_insert_headers_and_footers Header and footer and select Header or Footer from the drop-down list.

•On the Page tab, click t_insert_header Header or t_insert_footer Footer.

•When working in macOS, run the Insert > Header and footer > Header or Footer command from the command menu.

•To configure the headers, move the mouse cursor to the top of the page. To configure the footers, move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the page. When the cursor changes to header or footer , double-click the left mouse button.

3.Open the header and footer settings pane in one of the following ways:

•Below the header or above the footer, click Options and select Header settings / Footer settings from the drop-down list.

•On the Sidebar, click side_panel_header Header settings or side_panel_footer Footer settings.

4.In the header and footer settings pane, specify the required parameters (see table ).

5.Add data to the header and/or footer: enter text or insert the desired object. Format the header and/or footer content as needed. If you have chosen to create a different header or footer for the first page and/or different headers and footers for even and odd pages, add and format the content in each type of header and/or footer.

Option	Action
Indent from the top Indent from the bottom	Indent from the top edge of the page to the data entry line in the header. Indent from the bottom edge of the page to the data entry line in the footer.
Different first page	Allows you to create unique content in headers and footers both on the first page of the whole document and on the first page of any of the sections. When checked, both the header and footer of the first page become the different ones. When checked, the application saves the data that is entered in the different header and footer and when checked/unchecked, it displays/hides exactly that data.
Different even and odd pages	Applies to both header and footer at the same time. Determining whether pages are even or odd always begins on the first page of a document, regardless of whether there are sections.
