Operation Manual

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 above the margin. A footer appears at the
bottom of the page below the margin. 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 Style (or some other page style, if not Default Style), or
• Click above the top margin to make the Header marker appear (Figure 80), and then click
on the +.

After a header has been created, a down-arrow appears on the header marker. Click on this arrow
to drop down a menu of choices for working with the header (Figure 81).
Figure 81: Header menu
To format a header, you can use either the menu item shown in Figure 81 or Format > Page >
Header. Both methods take you to the same tab on the Page Style dialog.
