Headers and footers

You can add information, such as a chapter title and page number, that will appear at the top and bottom of every page in a document. Text that appears at the top of every page is called a header; text at the bottom is called a footer.

Headers and footers can be treated in the same way as you would treat normal text on the page - you can style them, use borders and other paragraph formatting, and insert objects. You can switch between editing the body text and editing a header or footer (see Editing a header or Editing a footer).

By default, Ability uses the same header and footer on every page. You can choose to use a different header and footer for the first page and/or odd and even pages (see Setting up headers and footers).

In a document with body text and a header and footer, Write uses a "faded" font to distinguish the non-active area. For example, if you were editing the body text, the header text would appear in a gray font.
