My boss emailed me a couple weeks ago. “Lauren, can you remove the 3rd page? Every time I try, the footer disappears.” “Not a problem,” I replied, “see attached…” Yes, it took me a good 30 seconds to remove the page and fix the footer. His response, and I quote “Thanks, now you’re making me look incompetent!” I thought it was quite funny, I knew something he didn’t, but then again, while he was punching numbers and selling ERP, I was learning the ins and outs of Headers and Footers.

I’m going to share something with you. There are 2 tools that make or break your Headers and Footers; can you guess what they are? I’ll tell you, they are the type of Page Break you use and the button, Link to Previous. Yep, that’s all, those two things can make or break your entire document.
Step by Step procedures in creating Headers & Footers
Let’s begin by creating a new document, then inserting your Header. Go to the Insert menu and then Header button.
After you click on the Header button, a drop down menu will appear with a variety of options.
We will work with the “Standard Blank” selection in this demonstration.
Once you have selected Blank Header, you can start building your Header.
- You can add Pictures or Your Logo (Green Arrow)
- Adjust the Header/Footer Margins (Blue Arrow)
- Or, just begin typing in the Header section (Red Arrow)
Section.Footers property (Word); 2 minutes to read; In this article. Returns a HeadersFooters collection that represents the footers in the specified section. Expression A variable that represents a 'Section' object. For information about returning a single member of a collection, see Returning an object from a collection. These instructions are for Word 2007 or 2010 but can also be performed in earlier versions. You can easily adjust the page margins in a Word document by click on the Page Layout tab and then click Margins in the Page Setup group. What if you need to adjust the margins for the Header and or Footer of the document? Click the Page Layout tab Click the marker to the right of Page Setup Click on. Here is a brief tutorial on inserting Headers and Footers on Microsoft Word for Mac as part of a project by a Technology in Teaching and Learning class from.
When you have finished editing your Header, click on the Red Box with the X (Black Arrow) to close the header area, or simply double click anywhere else in the document.
- Other tools include:
- Adding a different header to first page rather than on the second page
- Using alternating headers to odd or even pages.
I have inserted our Crestwood Logo, right justified. Next, we will look at how to add a Footer.
Just follow the same steps to add a Footer as you did with adding your Header. Insert > Footer > Blank
Type in your Footer Information. Please note, you can add graphics, text, tables etc. I like to use tables because it keeps all of Crestwood’s locations aligned properly.
Page and Section Breaks
I will try to make this short and sweet, but I can’t guarantee you will get this on the first try. We will start with the basics, what each tool can do for you:
Page Breaks:
- Page – is the standard next page break. Use this when you want your Header/Footer to remain the same on each page.
- Column – will not be used in creating Header/Footers
- Text Wrapping – will not be used in creating Header/Footers
Section Breaks
- Next Page – Insert a section break and start a new section on a new page. Use this when you want to create a different Header/Footer on each page
- Continuous – Insert a continuous break when you want to start a new section on the same page. This is typically used when jumping from a single column page to a 2-3 column page.
- Even Page – Insert a section break and start a new section on an even-numbered page.
- Odd Page – Insert a section break and start a new section on an odd-numbered page.
Designing your Header or Footer
- When editing your Header or Footer, you can add different widgets, such as page numbers, date & time, document info, or other quick parts.
- You can modify your Header or Footer to have a different first page.
- You can modify your Header or Footer to have one style on odd pages and another style on even pages.
- The most important step in modifying Headers or Footers is whether or not you want them to Link to Previous. This tool makes or breaks your Headers and Footers, so be sure to have all of your page breaks and section breaks placed properly. Clicking Link to Previous will set your Header or Footer to the previous section’s Header or Footer.

Give it a try. I recommend playing around with all the options. Hopefully this helps when you’re working with Headers and Footers. If you have any questions, please contact us at marketing@crestwood.com.
If you are writing a report or thesis, you may need a different footer on every page or a series of pages. This tip shows you how to create different footers within your document.
You probably already know you can easily change the first page footer, or create different odd and even page footers, by selecting check boxes. These settings are found in the ribbon on the Header and Footer Design Tools tab. (Click inside the footer to show this tab.)
But what if you want to have a different footer for every chapter of your book or section of a term paper?
This isn’t as easy as selecting a check box, but it can be done without too much difficulty.
It is accomplished by creating a new section, then disconnecting the link between the footers. In Microsoft Word, by default, all footers in a document are connected. That connection has to be broken so you can create multiple footers without overwriting the previous ones.
To create a new section and disconnect the footers, follow these steps:
- Insert your cursor at the bottom of the last page of the previous chapter or section. (Make sure the cursor is outside of the footer area.)
- On the ribbon, select the Page Layout tab.
- In the Page Setup group, click Breaks, then under Section Breaks, select Next Page.
- The cursor jumps to the next page (or creates a new page if there is no next page). Remove any extra line breaks created. Be careful not to delete the section break (you can see it by pressing Ctrl+*).
- Go to the bottom of the first page of the new section and double-click inside the footer. This activates the Header & Footer Tools tab on the ribbon.
- On the Header & Footer Tools tab, in the Navigation group, click Link to Previous to deselect it. (If button is shaded yellow it is selected. If it is shaded white, it is deselected.)
Now you can create a new footer on this page. Repeat this process for each section of your document.
