A dding Header, Footer and Page Number

In a document, the top portion of a page is known as a Header, while the bottom portion of the page is
known as a Footer. The header and footer are used to display information on every page at the same place.
For example, if we want to display the title and the date at the top of each page, and the page number at
the bottom of each page, we can use a header, or a footer feature of a word processor.

Click on Insert → Header and Footer → Header → Default Page Style. A header will be added at the
top of each page. Type in the information like document title, date/time, etc., you want to add in the
header. It will appear at the top of each page of the document.

Similarly, to insert a footer in the document, click on Insert → Header and Footer → Footer → Default Page
Style. In the footer, you can add the page number by clicking on Insert → Page Number. You have other
options like formatting the footer, adding background colours, etc. too in the Footer as shown in the figure.
