Briefly explain the process of adding a header and footer to a Microsoft Word document.?

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary. You can insert a simple header or footer in Header and Footer view, which you switch to by double-clicking in the header or footer area, or by clicking the Header or Footer button in the Header & Footer group on the Insert tab and clicking Edit Header or Edit Footer. You then type the header or footer text directly in the header or footer area, formatting the text as you would any other text in a document. You can also insert a formatted header or footer by using the Header and Footer buttons in the Header & Footer group on the Insert tab or on the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, and then click a style in the gallery of headers and footers that opens.Many of the styles in the Header and Footer galleries include page numbers and graphic elements such as horizontal lines or shaded boxes. Some also include content controls. A content control is a placeholder for text you insert; it can store a specific type of text, such as a date or a document property. A property is identifying information about a file that is saved with the file, such as the author's name and the date the file was created.Information entered in a content control associated with a property will appear in any other content control that is associated with that property. Some content controls are associated with properties that appear automatically in the content control. Most of the content controls that appear in headers and footers are text placeholders. You click the text placeholder once to make it active, and then type the text to replace the placeholder. Date content controls are formatted so that you can click an arrow to display a calendar and then select a date from the calendar. You can delete a content control that you do not want to use.When a content control is active, its title tab appears. The title tab usually contains a label identifying the content control. Headers and footers have a Center Tab stop at the 3.25-inch mark and a Right Tab stop at the 6.5-inch mark. These tab stops center and right-align text based on the Normal margins. If you change the margin settings, consider changing the tab settings to better align the header or footer text. If the Right Tab stop is outside of the right margin, the second tab stop is at the right margin instead of at 6.5-inch mark. When a header or footer area is active, the Header & Footer Tools Design tab is available on the ribbon, and tabs identifying the header and footer areas appear in the left margin. Please see the section " Adding Page Numbers, Headers, and Footers " for more information.
