Headers and Footers

• This material is mostly from chapter 7 of the book.
• Start with this document.
• We will work on controlling headers and footers for a document.
  • Different headers/footers in different sections.
  • A different header/footer on the first page
• This is difficult
  • It is not hard, but it requires attention to detail.
  • And the software (word) tends to fight you in this process.
  • I suspect that it might get better at some point, but that point is not here yet.
• Notice in your book
  • The first page of a chapter is different from other pages.
  • Odd and even pages are different.
  • Each chapter is different.
• We will accomplish this with sections.
  • Next Page, Even and Odd Page section breaks are the important factor here.
  • Continuous page breaks are ignored.
  • Other breaks (page, column, wrap) are ignored.
• Before you start this, you should have your document nearly finished.
• Make sure that it is broken into sections.
• Turn on the Hide/Show marker.
• Go into headers/footers
  • I find it easiest to just click in a header/footer area.
  • But you can make selections on the Insert tab/Header Footer area.
• Note
  • The labels (First Page Footer Section N), (First Page Header Section n)
  • The items in the Navigation workgroup
  • The items in the options workgroup.
• For this document, we would like
  • Page numbers at the bottom of the contents section, in roman numerals, starting at v
  • The word Front Matter centered in the heading of this section.
• The next section should
  • First page have the section title centered at top.
  • First page page number at bottom right Page N
  • Even pages page number on left hand side
  • Odd Pages page number on right hand side.
  • No information in the footer.
• To accomplish this
  • For the headers/footers on
    • The first page.
    • The first non-first even page
    • The first non-first odd page
  • Set the options
  • Remove link to previous, double check this
  • Watch, word tends to turn link to previous on for you.
  • Watch, word tends to jump between headers and footers.
  • Fix the header/ footer
