Header and footer information can apply to all of the documents in a database, or be specified for a particular document. The header and footer you create for a database prints with all documents in the database, unless you set up a different header and footer for the document.

Note Database header and footer information also appears when you print a list of documents in a folder or view, a Calendar view, or a list of calendar entries.

To create a header or footer

1. Open a document or database.

2. From the menu, choose File - Document Properties (or File - Database Properties to assign a header or footer for all the documents in the database).

3. Click the Printer tab.

5. Enter any text you want to appear in the header or footer in the Header/Footer text field.

6. (Optional) To have Notes automatically insert page number, total number of pages, date, time, tab, or title.

	To insert	Click this button
	The page number ('&P' in the Header/Footer text field)
	The total number of pages ('&Q' in the Header/Footer text field)
	The date you print the document ('&D' in the Header/Footer text field)
	The time the document is printed ('&T' in the Header/Footer text field)
	A tab ('|' in the Header/Footer text field)
	The document title ('&W' in the Header/Footer text field)

7. (Optional) Under Format, change Font, Size, or Style for the header or footer text.

8. Click the check mark to save your changes, or the "x" to cancel them.

9. (Optional) To prevent headers and footers from appearing on the first page, deselect "Print header and footer on first page."

Tips for aligning text in headers and footers

• Use tabs.

  	Comments	Example
  	Without them, text is left-aligned.	LEMON
  	To center text, insert one tab on each side of the text.	|LEMON|
  	To right-align text, insert two tabs before the text.	||LEMON
  	To left-align some text and right-align the rest, insert one tab between the text.	&D|&T
  	To left-align some text, center some text, and right-align the rest, insert two tabs.	LEMON|&T|CONFIDENTIAL

• When you have multiple items in a header or footer, be sure to enter spaces or tabs between them. Items that are not separated in this way will run together in the printed output. For example, to print 'Page 1 of 4' (and so on) in a header/footer, insert 'Page &P of &Q' in the Header/Footer text field.
• To specify a multi-line header or footer, press ENTER at the end of each line.
• Use the Print Preview command to see how headers and footers look before you actually print.

To delete headers and footers

1. Open the document or database.

2. From the menu, choose File - Document properties (or File - Database Properties to delete a header or footer from all the documents in the database).

3. Click the Printer tab.
