    • To enter additional text for the header or footer, enter the text in the Left section, Center section, or Right section box.
    • To start a new line in one of the section boxes, press ENTER.

    • To delete a section of a header or footer, select the section that you want to delete in the section box, and then press BACKSPACE.

    Notes

    • You can use the buttons in the Header or Footer dialog boxes to format or further customize your headers and footers.

    • Make sure the header or footer margin allows enough space for the custom header or footer.

ShowTips

  • To include a single ampersand (&) within the text of a header or footer, use two ampersands. For example, to include "Subcontractors & Services" in a header, type Subcontractors && Services.

    1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
    2. In the First page number box, type the first page number.
