How to Add a Header or Footer in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word lets you create documents for a variety of purposes. Business documents and letters benefit from the flexibility offered by Microsoft Word to customize a document as needed. A header lets you insert contact information, a company logo and other personal touches. A footer may serve the same purpose, or provide identification for a document. Inserting a header or footer in every page of a Microsoft Word document only takes a few moments.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Microsoft Office Word 2003

Instructions

1. Open Microsoft Word using the "Start" menu or the shortcut on your Desktop. Open the document to which you want to add a header or footer.

2. Double-click on the top portion of the document to access the header section. Insert text or an image you want displayed throughout the document.

3. Insert text or images in the footer of the document. Double-click on the footer area if it doesn't appear. Double-click on the document text to exit the header and footer view.
