Headers and footers are the areas above and below the top and bottom of the print range on a page, respectively. These areas are typically used for printing titles and page numbers.
OfficeTalk provides a Headers and Footers page in every Print dialog box.
OfficeTalk lets you define left, centre and right justified headers and footers, using the six fields in the Headers and Footers page. You may insert any text in these fields including certain substitution codes which give you additional print time information. The substitution codes available to you are as follows:

If the current user is called Joe Smith and you print using this text in your footer field then OfficeTalk will print something similar to the following:
Printed by Joe Smith on 21/02/98 at 14:10
You may choose to use this example substitution on all OfficeTalk print outs. If you check the Line below Header check box then a horizontal line will be drawn below each header. If you check the Line above Footer check box then a horizontal line will be drawn above each footer. You may choose between having a header on the first page only or having a header on all pages. Similarly, you may choose between having a footer on the first page only or having a footer on all pages.
You can specify the fonts for the header and footer using the Header Font button and the Footer Font button. The header and footer fonts will apply only to the Print dialog from which this dialog was invoked. Once defined, the font settings will remain between OfficeTalk sessions.
