So I want to take a look at the header and footer of your printed document.
Think about the header footer for a moment.
You receive a document whether it's Ixil word whatever it is.
A lot of times in the very top portion of your page roughly half an inch or so you get to see some additional
information maybe the title of the document maybe a disclaimer the footer.
Lot of times you see a page number a date.
Maybe it says confidential down there.
We got some additional information that I want to have show up at the very top or bottom of the page
and have this happen for potentially every page in the document.
This is the header and footer instead of Excel.
There are multiple ways to activate and work with the header and footer here.
I'm going to go back to Page Layout view because Microsoft has built the header and footer directly
in the page layout and it's very accessible and very interactive.
Take a look.
I'm going to go right back to view and back in the page layout.
This is the view that we just got done talking about where you can literally see the pages and make
adjustments.
So it looks good.
Page by page.
Now to activate the header or the footer.
I'm going to do something in the footer.
I'm going to go to my page here.
This is just Page 1 where my spreadsheets at and I'm in a click down towards the bottom you'll see that
I got three boxes down there left aligned a center and a right aligned area for my voter information
and up with a top I've got the same thing but from my hatter left center and right aligned content.
So let's say I want to do the page number and I want the page number to show up in the center of the
bottom of each page.
So I'm going to click into the middle area here and this is my footer and it's the center aligned content
.
Now as soon as you click into the footer or the header you get a new tab at the top your screen.
A Header Footer Tools tab called design.
And then there you've got all the options that you can utilize to draw content into the header and footer
.
Now like I said I want to do page number so I'm going to come up here click on the page number.
This drops in a little code it's called ampersand page.
If I click out of the footer I can now see I've got a page number and if I scroll down here's page 2
and it says Page 2.
Let's put something in the header.
So I'm going to come up to the header and maybe on the right hand side I'll click into there.
And what I'd like to do here I print this document out I send it out to my co-workers or maybe I throw
it up on the network drive them under Sharepoint or wherever the original documents perhaps list someplace
else.
Or maybe the users print it out and they forgot Hey where did that document live on the network on sharepoint
.
Well we that we can help ourselves and our co-workers is by adding the path the location to this document
into the header or the footer.
Take a look.
So I'm currently clicked into the right hand side of my head or right align content.
I'm going to go back to design and inside of the elements section I'm going to get the file path.
So once again much like the page number it puts a little code in there ampersand path ampersand file
.
And if I click away.
I've now got the path to that file.
The literal address.
So now somebody princes out.
They can always reference back.
We have his documents on the C drive and found here on the X drive we're on sharepoint or wherever it's
located that they have that path right there.
It's something small but it's ultimately going to make or documents more accessible.
And you've got all sorts of stuff you can put up there.
I'll go back to design.
We got number of pages like page one of the you've got to date the time the file path the file name
the sheet name you put pitchers in there maybe you got logos you want to put into your header footer
all sorts of content here to make her documents more presentable or to provide additional information
for each page like the page number.
So try this out.
Open up your document go back to view page layout activate the header footer and try adding some of
this content.
Give your users that additional information not just for one page but it'll show up on each page header
.
Top of the page footer the bottom right out
