Chapter 3 Working with Document Parts 49

Using Headers and Footers

You can have the same text or graphic appear on multiple pages in a document.

Recurring information that appears at the top of the page is called a header; at the

bottom it’s called a footer.

You can put your own text or graphics in a header or footer, and you can use formatted

text fields. Formatted text fields allow you to insert text that is automatically updated.

For example, inserting the date field shows the current date whenever you open the

document. Similarly, page number fields keep track of page numbers as you add or

delete pages.

To define the contents of a header or footer:

1 Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Layout. You can see the header and footer

areas at the top and bottom of the page.

2 To add text or graphics to a header or footer, place the insertion point in the header or

footer and type or paste text or graphics.

3 To add page numbers or other changeable values, see the instructions in “Inserting

Page Numbers and Other Changeable Values” on page 112.

Whatever you type in a header or footer is repeated on every page. If you want to

change the header and footer text in different sections of your document, see

“Changing Headers and Footers in a Section” on page 55.

Using Footnotes and Endnotes

In a word processing document, you can add special marks (numbers or symbols) in a

document that link to notes at the bottom of a page (footnotes) or at the end of a

document or section (endnotes).

You can’t mix footnotes and endnotes in a document, but you can convert notes from

one type to the other.

Adding and Editing Footnotes and Endnotes

In a word processing document, footnotes and endnotes can contain text as well as

inline objects.

Adding a Footnote

In a word processing document, you can add special marks in a document that link to

notes at the bottom of the page. These notes are called footnotes.

To add a footnote:

1 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document Inspector button, and then click

Document.

2 Choose Use Footnotes from the Footnotes & Endnotes pop-up menu.
