Editing a header

To make the header active, do one of the following:

As soon as a header is active, the vertical ruler is reset according to the depth of the header. You can resize the header directly using this ruler in the same way you would resize body text (see The vertical ruler).

Also displayed is the Header and Footer toolbar (see Using the headers and footers toolbar) to assist in inserting dates and times and switching between headers and footers.

Type the text just as you would do on a standard page. You can create a single line header or use several paragraphs; edit the header text to make it bold or italic; increase the font size; and use a different font or fonts. You can also insert objects into headers, such as graphic images, or make use of borders or columns.

Note: If you have chosen to use more than one set of headers and footers (e.g. a different set for the first page, or different sets for odd and even pages), you will need to set up a header or footer for each set. Move to a representative page from each set before editing the header or footer text.

To return to the body of the document, double-click anywhere in the body text or select Close Header and Footer from the displayed toolbar.
