Multiple headers and footers

You can set up as many different headers and footers as you need to use in your document; the limit is the number of pages. All headers and footers are associated with a page, where the caret was in the document when they were created. Usually they will also be associated with a page break, either at the start of a document or the start of new chapters.

To add a different header or footer to a page:

  1. Create a new header or footer there using the Pages dialogue box.
  2. Click the New button in the Pages dialogue box.
  3. Enter the header or footer margin details in the Page dialogue which then appears.
  4. Type in your new header or footer text on the page where the new header or footer appears.

If you have more than one header or footer set up you can choose which you use on each page using the Pages dialogue box. This presents a list of options; each header or footer is listed by the number of the page it was first set up on.

  1. Go to the page you want to choose a header or footer for.
  2. Display the list of page entries by choosing Pages... from the Page menu.
  3. Click on the one you want to use in the list which appears.
  4. Click OK. The chosen header will appear on the page.
