Headers and footers are special areas at the top and bottom of each page and can include information such as the document title, a page number, the name of the author and so on. In PageMaker, headers and footers are added to a master page, so they automatically appear on each page that uses the master. These instructions are for PageMaker 6.0 and 6.5.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Go to the master pages by clicking the master pages icon.
Step2
Zoom in to enlarge the page view.
Step3
Go to the area on the page where you want to insert the header or footer.
Step4
Select the Text tool and click where you want to add the text on the page.
Step5
Type the header or footer text and format it.
Step6
Position the header or footer exactly where you want it to appear on the page by using the Pointer tool.
Step7
Return to the document pages by clicking on one of the document page icons at the bottom of the PageMaker window.

  • Use the Document Setup function to configure your PageMaker document for facing pages, and then set up the headers and footers in the Master Pages.
