<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Creating headers and footers

Headers and footers allow you to display information such as page numbers, date, company name, copyright notices or the name of the presentation. These then appear at the top (header) or at the bottom (footer) of the page.

▪Headers can only be used in notes and handouts. The same header appears on each note page or handout page.

▪Footers can also be used on normal slides. You can either create individual footers for specific slides or assign a footer to all slides in the entire presentation.

You can specify exactly how the headers and footers should appear. You decide the content, placement, size, formatting and all other aspects of the headers and footers as follows:

▪To create headers and footers and edit their content settings, choose the ribbon command Insert | group Text | Header / footer.

▪To then change the formatting, position or size of headers/footers on individual slides, select the appropriate bordered areas at the top or bottom of the page. Their position and size can be changed with the mouse and their formatting with the commands from the command groups Character, Paragraph and Objects on the ribbon tab Home.

▪You will also find additional options for the general object properties on the contextual ribbon tab Object (which appears when you select a header or footer).

To insert headers and footers at a higher level, switch to the respective master view on the ribbon tab View | group Master and use the commands described above accordingly.
