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 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.
Note
A header and a footer are properties of the page style. Set or unset headers and
footers of all page styles in use in your document.
Inserting a header or footer
To insert a header, you can either:
• Choose Insert > Header and Footer > 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 83), and then click
on the +.
