Computer Basics Header/Footer Codes |

|
Most text editors and word processors have the ability to create headers and footers, that is, text that is shown at the top or bottom of every page of the document. This capacity is often used to number the pages or put the document's name and author on each page.
Some applications have you enter the header and footer text in the Page Setup dialog box, while others have a separate dialog just for the header and footer. In the example below, from Win95's Notepad, the dialog box includes a textbox for the text that you want to print in the header and footer.   The & is used with certain letters as a code for things that are commonly wanted in the header or footer, unless the application has separate buttons or commands.
The page on the right shows how the header and footer text that is set above would look. Since there was no code for alignment entered for the footer, it was centered by default. Here is a reference chart for commonly used codes:
