Edit Headers and Footers

Once you have added headers and/or footers to your document you may want to edit them. Some people like to work in Draft View or Full Screen view which allows the text to flow across the full width of the monitor without regard to margins, line wraps and page breaks. Without visible page breaks, headers and footers (which are, by definition, aspects of pages) do not appear in Draft View or Full Screen view.

Display headers and footers as they appear in the document

Choose the menu command: View > Page View.

Edit headers or footers

Click in the header or footer area and make the changes you want.

Find the header or footer for a particular section of your document

You can easily move your insertion point to the header or footer of the current section of your document.

Choose Go to Header or Go to Footer from the View menu.

This method is especially useful if your document is in Draft View. Nisus Writer Pro will automatically switch to Page View and activate the header or footer area.

Include images in a header or footer

1. Click in the header or footer.

2. Paste the image.

3. Set the alignment the way you want.

4. Click back into the document.

Move a header or footer higher or lower on the page

The headers and footers hug the top and bottom of the document window respectively. You can move headers and footers in relation to their physical position on the page.

1. Click in the header or footer.

2. Drag the top margin line higher or lower on the page.

The pointer changes shape to indicate that it moves the margins and a “help tag” appears indicating the distance from the margin to the edge of the paper.
