You can make your Excel spreadsheet look much more professional by adding headers and footers. One way to make your header or footer really stand out is by inserting a graphic. Here’s how!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Open the Excel spreadsheet that you want to print. Click on “View” in the Excel toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+V.
Step2
From the “View” menu, click on “Header and Footer."
Step3
Click “Custom Header” or “Custom Footer."
Step4
Determine whether you want your header or footer in the “Left Section," “Center Section” or “Right Section” and click inside the corresponding field, so that your cursor appears there.
Step5
Click the “Insert Picture” button. This button, on the far right, has a picture of mountains and the sun on it.
Step6
In the “Insert Picture” dialog box, navigate to the graphic you wish to use. Double-click it to insert it in your header or footer. Click “OK” on the “Header” or “Footer” dialog, and once more on the “Page Setup” dialog box.
