Odd & Even Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word

As you have learned in other WordTips, Word allows you to easily add headers and footers to your document. You can also specify that different headers and footers be used for both odd and even pages. Word will then automatically determine which footer is the proper one to use for the given page. To define separate odd and even headers or footers, do the following:

1. Display the Page Layout tab of the ribbon.
2. Click the small icon at the bottom-right of the Page Setup group. Word displays the Page Setup dialog box.
3. Click on the Layout tab. (See Figure 1.)



4. In the Headers and Footers section, make sure the check box labeled Different Odd and Even is selected.
5. Click on OK.
