Adding Headers and Footers to a Sheet
You can have the same text appear on multiple pages in a sheet. Recurring
information that appears at the top of the page is called a header; at the bottom it’s
called a footer.
You can put your own text in a header or footer, and you can use formatted text
fields. Formatted text fields allow you to insert text that is automatically updated.
For example, inserting the date field shows the current date whenever you open the
spreadsheet. Similarly, page number fields keep track of page numbers as you add or
delete pages.
To define the contents of a header or footer:
1 Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Print View.
2 To see header and footer areas, hold the pointer near the top or bottom of a page.
You can also click View in the toolbar and choose Show Layout.
3 To add text to a header or footer, place the insertion point in the header or footer
and insert text.
4 To add page numbers or other changeable values, see the instructions in “Inserting
Page Numbers and Other Changeable Values” on page 188.
Arranging Objects on a Page in Print View
Resize objects, move them around on a page or between pages, and break up long
tables across pages when you’re viewing a sheet in Print View.
To show Print View, click View in the toolbar and choose Show Print View.
Here are ways to lay out objects on a selected sheet’s pages:
To adjust the size of all the objects in the sheet in order to change the number of
m
pages they occupy, use the Content Scale controls in the Sheet inspector.
You can also drag the Content Scale slider at the bottom left of the canvas to resize
everything on a sheet.
To resize individual objects, select them and drag their selection handles or change
m
the Size field values in the Metrics inspector.
To resize a table, see “Resizing a Table” on page 51. To resize a chart, see “Resizing
or Rotating a Chart” on page 144. To resize other objects, see “Resizing Objects” on
page 220.
In Print View, header rows and header columns appear on each page if a table spans
m
more than one page.
To avoid showing header rows or columns when a table spans pages, on the Table
menu deselect “Repeat Header Rows on Each Page” or “Repeat Header Columns on
Each Page.”
