# 8.10. Headers/Footers

With multi-page documents, you might want to provide certain information at the tops or bottoms of each page throughout the document. They can provide the reader with important information and they tie your doocuments together.

Fortunately, headers and footers are really just a special type of frame. You can edit the text and data within the headers and footers

You can toggle headers and footers independently at any time.

If you are using a Wordprocessing template, the footers will be added below the margins you set under page setup. The text within the main frames will be moved so the headers and/or footers do not overlap any text.

If you are using a DTP template, the headers/footers will be placed at the margin edges, just like in the wordprocessing templates, but these frames are treated just like any other frame. If the text frame below the Header/footer frame is set to wrap around text in overlapping frames, that will cause the text to move.

You can toggle the headers by selecting View->Headers. from the Menu bar.

You can toggle the footers by selecting View->Footers. from the Menu bar.
