 At-your-desk learning:  "Adding headers and footers to Word documents" 

"Headers and footers are those little identifiers that run through the top and bottom of your document, providing important background information about it. They can include page numbering, title, author name, chapter number, and date. Headers and footers can greatly increase the usability of a long document as well as make it look much more professional." In this 40-50 minute self-paced online course with audio, you can learn how to...

  • Add basic headers and footers to your document, such as consecutive page numbers, author, title, and date.
  • Edit and delete headers and footers.
  • Insert more elaborate headers and footers, such as those that differ on the first page of your document.
  • Create distinct document sections by using section breaks.
