Using separate page headers and footers for each layout

By default, the page header and footer sections are shared for all layouts in the document. This is indicated in the name of the Page Header.

You can use different page sections for each layout. When the page sections are shared, you can edit them in any layout. When they are not shared, any edits you make in a particular Page Header or Page Footer affect only the current layout.

To use separate page headers and footers for each layout

  1. From the Home menu, select Page Setup. The Page Setup dialog box opens.  

  2. Select Layout.

  3. Clear the Use shared page header/footer check box.

  4. Click OK to return to the Document Editor.

Notice that the Page Header and Page Footer do not display as (shared) in the layout area.
