Various headers and footers. Creating Headers and Footers

You can change the layout of your document using the top and footers and inserting page breaks. Headers and footers usually contain additional information such as page number, date, document name, and footnotes. Page breaks and horizontal lines break up text and improve readability.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to insert and edit headers and footers, and how to insert page breaks and horizontal lines.

Headers and footers

A header is a section that appears in the top margin of a document, while a footer is a section that appears in the bottom margin of a document. The text entered in the header and footer will appear on every page of the document.

To insert a header or footer:

After closing the footer, it will still be visible, but will be blocked. To edit it again, simply click anywhere on the header or footer and it will unlock.

Formatting text in the header or footer

To format text in the header and footer, you can use many of the same formatting options that are available for formatting text in the body of the document. You can align the text, change the font style and size, and add bold, italic, and underline styles.


To add page numbers in the header or footer:

Google Docs automatically numbers each page and places it in the header or footer. If you want to display the word Page within the page number, you will need to enter the word "Page" in in the right place in the footer.

  2. Click Insert, from the drop-down menu select Horizontal line.
  3. A horizontal line will appear in the document.

A hat is not a headdress at all. More precisely, not only the headdress. A header, or header, is the text that repeats at the top of each page of a document. For example, some books have a chapter or section title at the top of each page. This is the header, or header. A footer is a footer because it is located at the bottom of the page. An example of a footer would be the old-fashioned phrase “Please turn the page,” although there are more meaningful footers that include page numbers, the title of a chapter or document, and anything else useful. In this book, the title of the part and chapter is indicated at the bottom of the page. The footer is created according to the same principle as the header.

  • The header can contain your name, document title, date, page number, title, phone number, advertising slogan - at your discretion.
  • The footer can contain all the same things.
  • A footer and a footnote are two different things. After reading Chapter 22, you will learn the difference between the two.
