In a page layout document, it removes the headers and footers from the current page. In a word-processing document with only one section, this action removes the headers and footers from the first page of the document. You can hide headers and footers to make the first page of a document (or section) look less cluttered. Zoom out so you can see the entire page, then click the edge of the page (or the gray background behind it). If you don’t see the checkbox, you may still have something selected on the page. In page layout document: Open the Format sidebar, click the page background so that nothing is selected (Page Layout appears at the top of the sidebar), then deselect the “Match previous page” checkbox. In a word-processing document: Open the Document sidebar, click the Section tab at the top, then deselect the “Match previous section” checkbox. If your document has multiple sections and you want the headers and footers in the current section to be unique, do one of the following: If you don’t see the header or footer fields, make sure the Header or Footer checkbox is selected in the Document sidebar (if you’re working in a word-processing document, click the Document tab so it’s frontmost). Move the pointer over the top or bottom of the page until you see a header or footer field, then click it (each field is invisible until you move your pointer over it). If your document has multiple sections and you intend to use different headers or footers for some sections (for example, different chapters in a book), select a page in the section you’re adding this header or footer to otherwise, you can add the header or footer to any page. To learn how to add page numbers or the page count to a header or footer, see the task “Add page numbers or the page count,” below.Ĭlick in the page where you want to add headers or footers. Before you begin, determine whether you’re working in a word-processing or page layout document.

You can enter text in any of the three adjacent header and footer fields along the top and bottom of every page. Change the look of text, rows, and borders.
