How to add headers and footers to a document in Microsoft Word?

To add headers and footers to a document in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Word and open the document you want to edit.
2. Go to the "Insert" tab in the Ribbon.
3. In the "Header & Footer" section, click on either "Header" or "Footer" (depending on where you want to add the element).
4. From the dropdown menu, select the desired header or footer template. Alternatively, you can choose "Edit Header" or "Edit Footer" to create a custom one.
5. A header or footer section will be inserted into your document, and you will be automatically taken to the header or footer area.
6. Enter or modify the desired content in the header or footer area. You can add text, images, page numbers, date and time, etc., using the available options and tools in the "Header & Footer Tools" Design tab.
7. Once you're finished editing the header or footer, click on the "Close Header and Footer" button (located in the "Close" group of the "Header & Footer Tools" Design tab) to exit the header or footer area and return to the main document.

Note: The process is the same for both headers and footers; the only difference is that headers are located at the top of the page, while footers are placed at the bottom.
