Double-click a header or footer.
The Headers and Footers toolbar appears.
Use the Switch Between Header and Footer button to jump from the header to the footer and back.
Use the Show Previous and Show Next buttons to navigate between the headers and footers of each section.
Once you are in a header or footer, other buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar will allow you to add content.

Insert Date
The field code that is inserted using this button is the Date code, which displays the current date, not the date when the document was created. You may want to choose Insert ? Field and select the Date and Time category to insert one of the other date fields, such as CreateDate or PrintDate.

You can also add any other type of content into the header or footer: text, tables, pictures, etc. Format the header or footer just as you would format content in the body of the document.
Choose Insert ? Field to insert other useful information into the header or footer, such as filename, author name, etc. The Document Information category is particularly rich with fields that are used in headers and footers.
