/en/word2016/columns/content/ IntroductionThe header is a section of the document that appears in the top margin, while the footer is a section of the document that appears in the bottom margin. Headers and footers generally contain additional information such as page numbers, dates, an author's name, and footnotes, which can help keep longer documents organized and make them easier to read. Text entered in the header or footer will appear on each page of the document. Optional: Download our practice document. Watch the video below to learn more about headers and footers in Word. In our example, we want to display the author's name at the top of each page, so we'll place it in the header.
To insert a preset header or footer:Word has a variety of preset headers and footers you can use to enhance your document's design and layout. In our example, we'll add a preset header to our document.
If you want to delete a Content Control field, right-click it and select Remove Content Control from the menu that appears. Editing headers and footersAfter you close the header or footer, it will still be visible, but it will be locked. Simply double-click a header or footer to unlock it, which will allow you to edit it.

To insert the date or time into a header or footer:Sometimes it's helpful to include the date or time in the header or footer. For example, you may want your document to show the date when it was created. On the other hand, you may want to show the date when it was printed, which you can do by setting it to update automatically. This is useful if you frequently update and print a document because you'll always be able to tell which version is the most recent.
