Headers and Footers
Headers and footers refer to text used to identify pages of your document. They may appear at the top of the document (header) or at the bottom of the document (footer) of every page of document. Common Headers and Footers are page numbers, document titles, notices to turn over the page, dates etc.
If you place them in a header or footer
outside of the document body, you can rest assured that this
information will always retain the correct placement,
no matter how much you edit the content of your document. Microsoft
Word includes a considerable amount of advanced options for working
with headers and footers; you can insert AutoText entries such as file name and path, dates, and page numbers that will automatically update as your
document changes. Additionally, you can specify that the first page
and/or odd pages have different headers and/or footers; once you understand how they work and how to
manipulate the options by taking advantage of section breaks, you can
even give every single page a different
header and footer.
Margins and Tabs
Margin is the amount of white space that appears at the top, bottom, left, and right edges of your document, or the blank space around the edges of the page. In general, you insert text and graphics in the printable area inside the margins, while Tab are primarily used to indent the first line of a paragraph or to line up columns of text or numbers. The default tab key takes the cursor 0.5 inches from the left margin and between columns. The space may be widened by pressing the tab key more than once (twice to get 1 inch ect.) However this method does not make alignment very accurate and sometimes the space bar has to used to give a line an additional space to match the others.
