How Do I Use Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word? 

1.      Open Word.

2.      Click on the Pull down menu View.  Click on Header and Footer.

3.      There should be a dotted-line box that appears at the top of the page.

4.      Type your name in this box.  Anything else (i.e.: title, date) you type in this box will be repeated at the top of every page of your document.

5.      If you want the computer to automatically insert consecutive page numbers:  look at the Header & Footer tool bar, click the little icon that looks like a page with a number symbol (#) on it.

6.      On the Header & Footer tool bar you can also press the button that reads ‘Insert Auto Text’ and pick from a number of different automatic formats.

7.      If you choose one of these you will then have to change the info from the generic example to your specific info (assuming you want to take credit for your work).
