Headers and footers
January 8th, 2008 | Published in Google Docs

To insert a header or footer into your document, click on the "Insert" tab and select "Header" or "Footer." A box surrounded by dashed lines will appear, and anything you place in that box will be repeated on each page of your printed document. This has been a highly requested feature, so we're launching it now without a lot of bells and whistles. But we're not stopping here and we'll continue to improve your printed pages in the weeks and months to come. We'd like to hear from you, so please post your comments and suggestions in our Help Group.
In December, we told you how we've been working hard to improve the printing features in Google Docs. Over the holidays we added another popularly requested feature: customizable headers and footers for printed documents.
