    • How to create headers and footers for a document.

    Header and Footer are to insert whatever you need (such as page numbers, title, date…Etc.) into the head (top) and the foot (bottom) of each page. However, the main purpose for the header and footer is to add various scripts to track the access to the blog (such as Google…Etc.).

    To create a header or a footer:

    1. Click the Insert tab.
    2. Click on the Header/Footer pop-down menu.
