Practical Uses
Typically, headers and footers are displayed on every page throughout a document to facilitate navigation or provide other information about a document. Although you can display just about any type of text or graphics in headers and footers, you should keep every reader’s task in focus as you decide what to include. The following helpful items are commonly placed in headers and footers:
Page number
Chapter number and title
Section number and title
Document title
Revision date or number
Company or author information
