Headers and Footers

To set up page headers and footers:

1. Open the Page Settings dialog box:

• Select the main menu item:

• Report > Print > Page Settings in regular reports

• Data Entry/Output Form > Print > Page Settings in data entry forms.

• Go to the Page Layout ribbon tab and click the button in the Page Settings group.

2. Go to the Header/Footer tab:

3. In the comboboxes of the Header/Footer tab select one of the predefined header and/or footer types, or create custom ones.

4. If it is required to set different headers and footers for even and odd pages, select the Different Headers and Footers for Even and Odd Pages checkbox. The checkbox is not selected by default. If the checkbox is selected, headers and footers for even and odd pages are set separately. If the checkbox is not selected, even and odd pages have identical settings for headers and footers.

5. To set special header or footer for the first page, select the Special Header/Footer for the First Page checkbox. The checkbox is deselected by default. If the checkbox is selected, the header or footer for the first page is set separately from headers and footers of the rest of pages. If the checkbox is deselected, identical headers or footers are displayed for all pages starting with the first one.

6. To edit header or footer, click the Set Up Header or Set Up Footer button. The header and footer editing dialog box opens:

NOTE. The dialog boxes for creating a footer and header are similar.

Depending on the checkboxes selected on the Header/Footer tab of the Page Settings dialog box, the header and footer editing dialog box contains different tabs:

• If the Different Headers and Footers for Even and Odd Pages and the Special Header/Footer for the First Page checkboxes were not selected, the header and footer editing dialog box contains the Header/Footer tab.

• If the Different Headers and Footers for Even and Odd Pages checkbox was selected, the header and footer editing dialog box contains the Even Page Header/Footer and Odd Page Header/Footer tabs that are identical to the Header/Footer tab.

• If the Special Header/Footer for the First Page checkbox was selected, the header and footer editing dialog box contains the Header/Footer and First Page Header/Footer tabs that are identical to the Header/Footer tab.

• If both checkboxes were selected, the header and footer editing dialog box contains the Even Page Header/Footer, Odd Page Header/Footer, and First Page Header/Footer tabs that are identical to the Header/Footer tab.

The header and footer area is divided into three parts with individual text alignment: left, center or right. Each of the parts has its own parameters.

Position of headers or footers on the report sheet is set when each header or footer is created by means of special substitutions or entering static text into the selected header or footer part.
