At the bottom of this article you’ll find a “Try This” section. Follow the instructions for Mac OR PC (not both). Take Note: There’s a lot of information in this article of the series, so I recommend not trying to absorb it all at once. (Can you imagine entering every page number in your book manually?) (See Word for Writers, Part 8: Section Breaks.) And page numbers fields inserted into headers or footers are automatically calculated. Anything placed on a header or footer is repeated across pages within a document or within specified sections of a document.
Headers and footers are areas in the top and bottom margins of each page in a document. And because I’m writing this series with writers in mind, I’m going to focus on issues specific to longer documents. Today, I’m going to give you an overview of how to handle headers, footers, and page numbering. IF YOU’VE BEEN following this series, understand of how page and section breaks can help you organize your document.
