Inserting items into headers and footers

You can add a horizontal line to a header or footer to, for example, create a separation between the information in the header or footer and the document text.

You can also insert the path and filename of the active document into a header or footer. If the document has never been saved, a code will be inserted instead, and the path and filename will not be displayed until you have saved the document. For more information about saving documents, see “Saving and closing documents.”

In addition, you can insert the date and time, or numbering, such as page, chapter, volume, or total pages, into a header or footer.
