Adding Headings and Footings

How to:

You can add text that repeats at the top (heading) or bottom (footing) of every page in a file. You can also insert the file time (the time a file was changed) and system time (the current time) or page numbers in a file heading and/or footing.

These headings and footings settings apply to reports displayed on a printed page. They do not appear when the report is displayed in the Web browser.
