Creating a Header or Footer

Headers and footers are important elements in documents. They aid navigation e.g. by displaying the page number and current heading.

Insert a header and footer

Simply add a header or footer to your template in Word. After you have added one, you can also format your header/footer.

Add placeholders

Using Scroll Word Exporter's placeholders, you can reference metadata and display it in the header/footer.

Display the current heading in the header

For a better navigation in your documents, it is practical to display the current heading name in the header of each page.
