Page Design - Header Footer

Quick reference

• 00:04 In this lesson, we're going to work on headers and footers.
• 00:07 Now if you're working on headers and footers, this is an advanced level.
• 00:11 That means you're working on a project and
• 00:12 it matters that you identify certain things on every single page.
• 00:16 Now on the Insert ribbon, way over on the right-hand side, there's a section that
• 00:19 says Header, Footer, Page Number and, of course, it's labeled Headers & Footers.
• 00:23 Now I'm going to go ahead and click on Header.
• 00:25 Take a look at the left-hand side, first of all my page navigation pane, and
• 00:29 the screen in front of us.
• 00:31 As soon as I click Header, things are going to change.
• 00:33 Click, there we go.
• 00:34 A lot changed.
• 00:36 On my page navigation, I have a blank page.
• 00:38 Now I'm dealing with the background of the newsletter.
• 00:41 I'm not dealing with the text boxes or pictures anymore, just the background.
• 00:45 Notice also, I have a brand new ribbon called Master Page.
• 00:48 It's not called the header and
• 00:49 footer ribbon, it's called the Master Page ribbon.
• 00:52 There's another place we can go get the same ribbon and
• 00:56 I need to show it to you because it becomes your personal preference.
• 00:58 So I'm going to go ahead and close Master Page to get back to my main newsletter.
• 01:04 And on the Page Design ribbon, so
• 01:06 this entire lesson is all about the Page Design ribbon.
• 01:09 Take a look right over here on the far right-hand side, Master Pages.
• 01:13 So when I click that, I have the option to Edit Master Page and
• 01:17 the tooltip comes up and says Ctrl+M.
• 01:19 So if there's something your going into a lot,
• 01:21 that might be something you would like to memorize.
• 01:23 Personally, I rarely go on to my Edit Master Pages, but
• 01:26 it's important that you know about it.
• 01:28 I'm going to go ahead and click Edit Master Pages, and
• 01:30 please notice the same exact thing as when I went to Insert Header.
• 01:35 All right, let's go ahead and work in here.
• 01:37 We can add a second Master Page.
• 01:39 We can make it a Two Page Master.
• 01:41 But whatever we do in here,
• 01:42 we must Apply To All pages, just a Current, or Apply Master Page.
• 01:47 So if I put something on one page, like a logo, and it doesn't show up on
• 01:51 the other pages, it's because I failed to click this button, Apply To Master Pages.
• 01:55 I can Duplicate this, I can Rename this.
• 01:58 Let's see, I want to Show Header/Footer.
• 02:00 This is why I came in here.
• 02:02 Notice, the Show Header/Footer,
• 02:04 the three buttons next to it are grayed out, because I'm not showing them, click.
• 02:08 As soon as I click that,
• 02:09 activate it, now I've got my Insert Page Number, Date, Time.
• 02:13 All right, so my Insert Page Number, actually,
• 02:15 I'm going to start by inserting a picture into my Header.
• 02:19 I want my company logo to show up on every single page of
• 02:22 this newsletter in the exact same spot.
• 02:25 No one can mess with it or move it around afterwards.
• 02:28 Well, even though I'm in Master Page, I still have access to my other ribbons.
• 02:32 So I'm going to click on my Insert ribbon > Pictures.
• 02:35 I'm going to grab my company logo, and insert that.
• 02:38 There we go.
• 02:39 Now it landed in the middle of my screen.
• 02:42 I want it to be at the very top, tip top of my entire newsletter, way up here.
• 02:47 And it doesn't even matter that it isn't in this dashed box of the header.
• 02:51 It doesn't matter, as long as it's on the master,
• 02:54 it's going to show up on every page, as long as I tell it to Apply To All Pages.
• 02:59 Click, I just told that logo to apply to all pages.
• 03:03 Here we go. Let's keep going.
• 03:04 On the header.
• 03:05 On the, let's see, right-hand side.
• 03:08 Let's say, I want to go to the footer.
• 03:10 I'm going to Show Header/Footer.
• 03:12 Go to the footer.
• 03:12 See, I can just click that back and forth, go header, go to footer.
• 03:16 All right, I'm going to put in page numbers.
• 03:17 So first I'm going to type Page # Space bar.
• 03:22 All right, that's something I typed in, I want it to show up on every single page.
• 03:25 Now I'm going to insert a page number field.
• 03:28 Click, and now it put in another, I don't know if you can see it.
• 03:31 It put another pound sign.
• 03:33 I typed the first one, but
• 03:34 this little pound sign that showed up will appear as a number in the newsletter.
• 03:38 It's called a field.
• 03:39 That's the code they use for their page number field.
• 03:42 That's fine with me.
• 03:43 Let's make sure we apply it to all pages.
• 03:47 All right, at this point, I'm not going to put the date and time.
• 03:50 I'm just going to close my master page, just to see what happens.
• 03:53 When we come back out, I'm looking for
• 03:55 this logo at the top and the page number at the bottom.
• 03:57 And it's actually, I'm getting fussy and
• 04:00 I'm going to actually move that a little lower.
• 04:02 Here we go.
• 04:03 Close the page.
• 04:04 When I click on page two, and let's show whole page.
• 04:08 Look, see, I've got my company logo at the top, page numbers at the bottom.
• 04:12 Hm, personally I should have probably put those page numbers on the right-hand side,
• 04:15 doesn't matter to me right now.
• 04:17 All right, as you can see that is great.
• 04:19 That is how you use your headers and footers via the master pages.
• 04:23 Let's go ahead and finish this lesson and move on to the next two videos,
• 04:29 which are also intermediate to advanced levels.
