How to Use a Header & Footer in Excel Windows Vista
Excel spreadsheets are a convenient way to organize and calculate data. Microsoft designed Excel with several options to better organize and present the data on spreadsheets. One of the options is the ability to create headers and footers. With headers and footers, you can include additional information that does not fit within the confines of the spreadsheet. Whether you are titling the spreadsheet or adding page numbers, headers and footers help you organize your spreadsheets.
