1. Go to the Insert tab and click on the “Header” or “Footer” button in the Header & Footer group.
2. Select one of the predefined headers or footers, or create a custom header or footer by selecting “Edit Header” or “Edit Footer.”

1. In the header or footer area, you can add text, images, or other elements such as page numbers, the date, or the author’s name.
2. When you’re finished, click “Close Header and Footer” to return to the main document.

Note that you can create different headers and footers for different sections of your document, which can be useful if you want to have different information displayed on the first page or in different parts of your document.
