Version added

2002

Syntax

strRet = object.HeaderLeft

object.HeaderLeft = stringExpression

Remarks

You can also set this value in the Left box under Header in the Header and Footer dialog box (on the View menu, click Header and Footer).

Both strRet and strExpression can contain escape codes that represent data. These escape codes can be concatenated with other text. For a list of valid escape codes you can use with the HeaderLeft property, see the FooterLeft property

Example

The following macro is used to place a string containing the current date into the left portion of a document's header.

Sub SetHeaderLeft()
    Dim szHeader as String
    'Build header string 
    szHeader = "The Date is " & "&D"
    'Set header of current document
    ThisDocument.HeaderLeft = szHeader
End Sub

If the date was May 4, 2002, the left portion of the header contains "The Date is Thursday, May 4, 2002" after running this macro.
