Creating a Running Head

In addition to page numbers, a long document usually has some type of identifying text—called a running head—at the top or bottom of each page of the document. All you do is create the running head once, and Word places it on the pages you designate. For the sake of consistency, we’re using the term running head for the heading itself, and the terms header and footer to indicate the running head’s position on the page. Note that on the screen you can see the headers and footers on your page only in Print Layout view or Print Preview.

Create a Header and a Footer

  1. On the Insert tab, click the Header button, and, in the gallery that appears, select the layout and content you want in the header.

  2. If there are placeholders in the header, click the placeholder field or text, and select or type your information.

  3. Click the Footer button, select the layout and content you want, and enter the footer information.

  4. Click the Close Header And Footer button to return to the main part of your document.

  5. If you want to edit the contents of the header or footer, double-click it to activate the area, and make your changes.
