Delete a header or footer
When you delete a header or footer, Microsoft Word automatically deletes the same header or footer throughout the entire document. To delete a header or footer for part of a document, you must first divide the document into sections and then create a different header or footer for part of a document.
- On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
- If necessary, click Show Previous or Show Next on the Header and Footer toolbar to move to the header or footer you want to delete.
- In the header or footer area, select the text and graphics and press DELETE.
