Hi @Nirmul, Ashwin,

Good day! Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing the detail. 

To see predefined variables in headers and footers (Classic Outlook), you can follow these steps:

1. In Outlook, go to File > Print.
2. Choose Memo Style (or whichever print style you are using).
3. Click Print Options > Page Setup
4. Go to the Header/Footer tab
5. There should be places to set what goes in the header and footer, with buttons or drop‑downs for inserting the variables (Page #, Total Pages, Date Printed, Time Printed, User Name). If not visible, try clicking inside the header/footer box; sometimes the controls appear only when that is active: Print a message with today’s date and time added to the top or bottom of the printout.
