WORD: Changing a Document Header

Headers are not used quite as much as footers in WORD documents.  Headers are just that, those title lines that print on every page of your document as you set it up.

What's tricky about headers is, often you find you need to change a date or just one or two words in a header AFTER you've printed your document.. simply because unless you are in Print View, you won't see the document's header.  Here's how to change that document header:

1. Choose View, Header & Footer
2. Note the area for the header is surrounded by dashes on your document
3. Make your changes in that header section
4. Choose CLOSE on the header menu bar

Now your revised header should be viewable on your document when printing or in the Print View mode.
