option. Your report now appears as before.
It
will most likely
scroll to the top
of
the text through the process, requiring a
readjustment to the desired point.
You
may select Show
or
Hide Rulers as many times as desired with no effect on the final
product.
HEADERS
AND
FOOTERS
We
are now ready to discuss the top and
bottom
of
the
page. Setting the
top
format, the Header,
and
the
bottom
format, the Footer,
is
accomplished in a manner similar
to
the
operations already performed.
You
may want to have certain
information printed in the Header
or
Footer. MacWrite fea-
tures this option as well.
Select Show Header from the Format menu. The result
appears in figure 5.12.
What you see
is
a new window entitled Header featuring:
• Insertion point
• Ruler (assuming Show Rulers is chosen)
• Three new symbols
The insertion point blinks
at
the beginning
of
a page. This
will represent the heading
of
each page in the text. Any symbols
placed there will result in the editor positioning the prescribed
characters in
that
spot on each page.
We
will discuss one
exception, the
Title Page option, a little later.
The first
of
the three blocks contains a number sign,#,
and
represents page number. A page number will
appear
at
the
indicated position on each page in the text. Using the mouse,
place this icon in the upper right-hand corner
of
the page.
Notice
that
the block cannot be placed below the line contain-
ing the insertion point. No icon may appear below the last line
of the Header.
