Adding headers make your document look polished and professional. The Header’s section in a Word document appears in the top margin and contains information such as page number, document name, and date. Use your cursor on the first page of your document to insert a header in Word. Go to the insert tab and select either the Header command. A drop-down menu will appear. You will select blank header or choose the built-in layout and designs available. When you are done, click Close Header and Footer option.
