Defining Headers and Footers for Facing Pages

In word processing documents, if your document uses sections, you can set up
different headers and footers for left and right pages, such as when you want the page
number to appear on the outer edge of the footers. See “Formatting Facing Pages in a
Section” on page 62 for information about defining sections.

To set up headers and footers for facing pages in a section:

1

Click inside the section.

2

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout inspector, and then click Section.

3

Select “Left and right pages are different.”

pages in the section.

On a right page in the section, define the header and footer you want to use for all

right pages in the section.

If you want the first page of the section to have a unique header or footer, select “First

page is different” and define the header and footer on the first page of the section.
