Inserting a Header for Page Numbering
For large documents, such as this research paper, it is helpful for readers to refer
back to certain sections by having page numbers printed on each page. While
you could manually number each page yourself, an easier method is to have the
word processor insert page numbers automatically. For this document, we will
insert a header and place the page number within it. To do so, follow these steps:
1
Click the Insert menu, select Header from the menu options that appear
and select Default from the submenu options that appear.
2
When the option is selected, you will notice that the word processor places
a separate text area at the top of each page within the document. If you
had selected Footer from the Insert menu, the text area would have been
placed at the bottom of each page. When you type text within a header or
footer, the text appears on each page of the document. In this exercise,
type Online Learning Method. Because you are typing within the header
area, the text is automatically formatted in bold.
