Summer is coming to an end and soon students will be heading back to school. The Microsoft Office suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, is a familiar tool for many students, but sometimes formatting your documents just right can be confusing. For those of you preparing for a mountain of paper-writing, here are some tips on headers and page numbers to keep your teachers and professors happy:
To open the header and footer in Microsoft Word:
- Double-click in the top or bottom margin of the document OR
- Go to Insert tab → Header & Footer group → Header command → Edit Header.
The Header and Footer Tools Design tab is a contextual tab that appears when the header and footer are open. Use this tab to add the date and time, pages numbers, and automatic header and footer formatting.
Need a different header on the first page? Check the Different First Page box.
To return to the body of the document
- Double-click outside of the header or footer OR
- Go to Header and Footer Tools Design tab → Close group → Close Header and Footer.
To quickly insert page numbers in Microsoft Word:
- Go to the Insert tab → Header & Footer group → Page Number command.
- A drop-down menu appears with various number positioning options. Click on an option to choose it. If currently in the header or footer, select Current Position.
To delete page numbers, double-click inside the header or footer and delete one of the page numbers—all of the page numbers are deleted.
