Importance of header and footer in Microsoft Word?

Answer 1

Headers and Footers are used for automatically putting things on every page on a document or on alternating pages, without having to put them in page by page. In a book you will have the number on every page. That is done by putting them into the Footer or Header. Sometimes you will see the name of the book or the chapter on every page. That is done with Headers and Footers. Sometimes the pages will alternate, with different things on odd and even pages. Sometimes you have the name of the book on one page, and the chapter on the other page, when you have the book open. Using Headers and Footers you can put other things automatically for every page, like the date or the time, or the author of the document.

Headers and footers are very simple. They are just like in a book. In a book at the tops and bottoms of the pages there is information, such as book title, author, chapter title, and page number. Those are the headers and footers of the page. This is the point of headers and footers in Microsoft Word as well.

Answer 4

A header or footer is text or graphics that is usually printed at the top or bottom of every page in a document. A header is printed in the top margin; a footer is printed in the bottom margin.

Headers and footers can be as simple as the document title and a page number, but you can create headers and footers that contain graphics, multiple paragraphs, and fields. You can specify a different header or footer for odd and even pages or use a different header or footer for the first page of a section or document. If you divide a document into sections, you can use different headers and footers in each section. For example, you might want the header for each section to reflect the title of that section.
