Now we can start editing this area the same way we learned to edit the main document area文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/113.html

So we can for example in search text and edit the text through the home tab文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/113.html

We can remove it by clicking on the remove option

We can also insert the object that are shown here

But of course, we can insert all the objects from the insert tab too

So the editing of the header content should be very familiar to you

But let's now look at the formatting of the header area

First of all, we can change the spacing in the section called position

This spacing will determine where the text is positioned inside the header area

And if we make the spacing value very high

The content text will be pushed down the next thing

We can decide is whether we want a header content on the first page or if we want to make the first page different.

A cover page for example usually doesn't contain a header text, So we could set a checkmark for different first page .

To have an empty header on the first page, the header on the other pages would still remain the same then we can also decide if we want to differentiate between odd and even pages.

This is often used when it comes to writing a book

You might have noticed that the header of the left page of some books usually contains the

First level heading and the header of the right page

Usually contains a sub heading, this can easily be achieved with different headers for odd and even pages

So these are the formatting options for the header, When we are done with editing the header area.

We can deactivate it by double clicking into the content area of the document note that if we change the header on one page the changes will be applied to all pages .

In the course you will learn how to create different headers on multiple pages

SO that's it.
