Moving or Deleting Headers and Footers

You can move the text in a header or footer from one header or footer position and add it to another. You can also delete a header or footer from a table. See Header and Footer Positions for information on the recommended minimum information to include in headers and footers.

To move headers and footers

In the Tables pane, select the table for which you want to move the header or footer.

From the menu, choose:

Choose the Header and Footer tab.

In the header or footer position you want to change, for example, Left side, click and drag to select all the text.

Note: If you want to move part of a header or footer, you can select the specific text that you want to move. If you move a field code you must select the entire code, including the field code markers {}.

Press Ctrl+X to cut the text from the current location.

Position the cursor in the header or footer position where you want to place the text, taking care to place the cursor outside any existing field code markers {}.

Press Ctrl+V to paste in the text.

Repeat for any other headers or footers you want to move.

To delete headers and footers

Select the text you want to delete in the same way as for moving headers or footers.

Press the Delete key.

When you have finished making your changes, choose OK to close the Table Properties dialog box, save your changes, and apply them to the current table.
