Footnotes and endnotes
• Footnotes and endnotes are attached to
individual words.
• Word automatically handles their insertion,
numbering, re-numbering, and placement.
When to use footnotes
• The purpose of footnotes is to give the
reader additional information about a topic
but without causing them to be sidetracked
from the main point of the current text.
How to insert footnotes
• Put your insertion point right at the end of
the word you want to footnote, then do
Insert => Footnote… to bring up the
following dialog box:
• In this window you choose whether you
want
– a footnote, which will appear at the bottom of
the page, or
– an endnote, which will appear at the end of the
section or document.
Headers and footers
• Headers and footers are repeated texts that
appear at the top and the bottom of every
page of a document.
• They include text or graphics, for
example,
– page numbers,
– the date,
– a company logo,
– the document's title or file name,
– the author's name, and so on.
• You can use the same header and footer
throughout a document or change the
header and footer for parts of the
document.
• For example, use a unique header or footer
on the first page, or leave the header or
footer off the first page (a standard
practice).
• You can also use different headers and
footers on odd and even pages or for
different parts of a document.
To create a header or footer:
• 1 On the View menu (and not the Insert
menu, as with footnotes), click Header and
Footer.
• 2 To create a header, enter text or
graphics in the header area.
• Or click a button on the Header and Footer
toolbar.
The buttons are:
• To insert:
• Page numbers
• The current date
• The current time
• Common header or footer
items, such as running
total page numbers (e.g.
Page 1 of 10), the file
name, or the author's
name.
• Click:
• Page numbers icon
• Date icon
• Time icon
• Insert Auto Text,
point to Header, and
then click the item
you want.
• 3 To create a footer, click Switch Between
Header and Footer to move to the footer
area. Then repeat step 2.
• 4 When you finish, click Close.
Tip
• The text or graphic you enter in a header or
footer is automatically left aligned.
• You may want to center the item instead or
include multiple items (for example, a left-
aligned date and a right-aligned page number).
• Note that three tabs are already given to you. To
center an item, press TAB; to right align an item,
press TAB twice.
First page different
• Normally the headers and footers on the
first page of a document are suppressed.
To suppress the headers and
footers on the first page
• The simplest way is to:
• 1 If your document is divided into sections,
click in a section or select multiple
sections you want to change.
• 2 On the View menu, click Header and
Footer.
• 3 On the Header and Footer toolbar, click
Page Setup.
• 4 Click the Layout tab.
• 5 Select the Different first page check box,
and then click OK.
Different headers and footers on
alternating pages
• Often, as in most of your textbooks, the
headers and footers on facing pages are
different.
To place different headers and
footers on alternating pages
• 1 On the View menu, click Header and
Footer.
• 2 On the Header and Footer toolbar, click
Page Setup .
• 3 Click the Layout tab.
• 4 Select the Different odd and even check
box, and then click OK.
• If necessary, move to the Even Page
Header area or Even Page Footer box.
• 6 Create the header or footer for each
even-numbered page.
• 7 To move to the header or footer for each
odd-numbered page, click Show Next on
the Header and Footer toolbar.
• Then create the header or footer you want.
Page numbering
• In a single document you can have more
than one page numbering scheme.
• For example, your Introduction could use
small Roman numerals while the rest of
your document uses Arabic numerals.
• To do this, your document has to be
divided into two sections, the Introduction
and the rest.
• Then, to control how page numbers appear,
put your insertion point into the section
whose page numbering you want to set,
then go the Insert => Page Numbers…
dialog box.
• If no section breaks have been inserted, the
whole document is considered to be one
section.
• In this dialog box you can specify whether
page numbers are to be:
• at the top of the page or at the bottom
(specifically in the header or the footer)
• positioned left, center, or right on the page
Margins
• Margins refer to the space between the
edges of your printed paper and the text.
How do you set your margins?
• One way is through the File => Page
Setup… dialog box:
• If you plan on binding/stapling a document
along its left edge, use a gutter margin to
add extra space to the inside margin.
• If you want to print a document on both
sides of the paper, you can set the margins
on facing pages so that they mirror each
other.
• You can also set your margins in Print
Preview:
When you put your
cursor over the indent
icons on the ruler in
Print Preview, the
cursor turns into a
double-headed arrow.
Hold your left mouse
button down and drag
the indent icon left or
right in order to change
the margin width.
Columns
• Here we mean newspaper style columns.
• Text in newspaper columns (versus table
columns) flows from the bottom of one
column to the top of the next.
To specify the number of
columns
• The portion of the document that will be turned
into column format is either:
• a portion that has been selected, if any; or
• the entire section where the insertion point is.
• To set the number of columns, either:
• click the columns button on the standard toolbar; or
• do Format => Columns… and fill in the resulting
dialog box.
• If you use Format => Columns you can also
set
• Whether there are vertical lines between
columns
• The width of the columns
• The spacing between columns
• These last two can also be set using the
ruler, in Page Layout view.
To adjust column width and space
between columns
