Create headers and footers


You create Header/Footer columns on the Master Layer and tag them as Hdr/Ftr columns using the Size and Placement Inspector.


Header/Footer columns are used to display text that repeats from page to page. Unlike Auto and Manual Flow columns, Header/Footer columns are not copied to the Pages Layer and cannot be repositioned or edited there. You can only enter text in a Header/Footer column on the Master Layer.
The text of a Header/Footer column changes from page to page in only one case: when it contains the current page number, inserted using FormatîTextîSpecialîPage Number (Command-#).

Header/Footer columns do not link to one another and do not flow from page to page.
Headlines or captions created on the Master Layer automatically become Header/Footer columns.
