Operation Manual

For a newsletter with complex layout, two or three
columns on the page, and some articles that
continue from one page to some place several
pages later, use page styles for basic layout. Place
articles in linked frames and anchor graphics to
fixed positions on the page if necessary.
For a document with terms and translations to
appear side-by-side in what appear to be columns,
use a table to keep items lined up, and so you can
type in both “columns”.
Creating headers and footers
A header is an area that appears at the top of a page. A footer appears at the bottom of the page.
Information such as page numbers inserted into a header or footer displays on every page of the
document with that page style.
Inserting a header or footer
To insert a header, you can either:
• Choose Insert > Header > Default (or the page style, if not Default), or
• Hover the mouse over the top of the text area until the Header marker appears (Figure 81),
and then click on the +.
