Defining Page Setup Options

Creating headers and footers

Headers and footers can be added to any worksheet, although they are not required. A header is any information that appear at the top of each page, while a footer prints at the bottom of the page. If you want a header or footer inserted onto a page, you will have to define them. Excel 2003 defaults to no header and no footer.

To create a header:

  • Choose File Page Setup from the menu bar.
  • Select the Header/Footer tab in the Page Setup dialog box.

    Headers and Footers

  • Click the Header drop-down list, and select one of the predefined headers:

To create a footer:

  • Choose File Page Setup from the menu bar.
  • Select the Header/Footer tab in the Page Setup dialog box.
  • Click the Footer drop-down list, and select one of the predefined footers.

    Predefined Footer Listbox

    OR

    Click the Custom Footer button to create your own footer. Follow the instructions in the Footer dialog box to make your entry.

You can insert placeholder buttons into both the header and footer to format text and insert page numbers, dates, times, file names, and tab names. Excel replaces these placeholders with the information each represents when the worksheet is printed. Follow the instructions in the Header and Footer dialog boxes.
