Concept: Managing Headers and Footers in Document Layouts

You can create a header or footer that contains text, tables, images, and page numbers. Header and footer settings apply to all pages in the document; you can't control individual header and footer values per page. You can insert several headers and footers and then use condition rules to control which one displays in the printed document. When you print the document, the first header and footer with a true condition rule (or with no condition rule) displays.

To insert a header or footer:

Click the
Headers
or
Footers
icon on the left side of the editor and then click
Insert Header
or
Insert Footer
.
Insert a text, image, table, or horizontal line element.
Use the
Format
tab in the right panel to format the element.
The formatting options depend on the type of element selected:
Text: Spacing, background, border style, border color.
Table: Spacing, border, border color, border style, cell background.
Image: Spacing, image size, alignment.
Horizontal line: Spacing, line color, line style.

If you insert several headers or footers, you can change the order they display. To move a header or footer up or down, click an arrow to the left of the header or footer, or select

Move Up

or

Move Down

from the related actions menu in the right panel.

To delete a header or footer, first click any area outside of the header or footer. Then select

Delete Header

or

Delete Footer

from the related actions menu in the right panel.

You can add the page number and the total number of pages to a header or footer by inserting automatic page numbering fields into a text or table element.

To insert page numbers:

Select the text or table element in the header or footer where you want to insert the page number.
Click the
Page Numbers
icon in the toolbar.
Select
Current Page
and/or select
Total Pages
.
