Inserting a Header or Footer

Most reports use headers and footers to help you keep track of where you are. A header is text printed in the top section of every page within a document. Footer text is printed in the bottom section. Commonly used headers and footers contain your name, the document title, the file name, the print date, and page numbers. You can also add a header and footer to a form.
