Word displays the header or footer along with the Design tab of the ribbon.
Click Edit Header or Edit Footer, depending on which tool you clicked in step 3. Word displays a drop-down list of options. In the Header & Footer group, click either Header or Footer, depending on which one you want to change. If the document has several sections, position the insertion point anywhere in the section where you want the header or footer to appear. To create the header or footer you desire, open your document and follow these steps: Word can be tricked into doing this because the number of pages in a document only equals the page number on the last page of a document! The header or footer can still contain information that you want printed on every page, but this field prints the document name and path on the final page footer only.Īs you have learned in other WordTips, you can insert field braces by pressing Ctrl+F9, and you can nest different fields, as this tip requires. Often it is desirable to insert something in the header or footer that you only want to appear on the last page.
