HeadersFooters Collection Object (Word)

A collection of HeaderFooter objects that represent the headers or footers in the specified section of a document.

Remarks

Use the Headers or Footers property to return the HeadersFooters collection. The following example displays the text from the primary footer in the first section of the active document.

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary) 
 If .Range.Text <> vbCr Then 
 MsgBox .Range.Text 
 Else 
 MsgBox "Footer is empty" 
 End If 
End With

Note

You cannot add HeaderFooter objects to the HeadersFooters collection.

Use Headers(Index) or Footers(Index), where index is one of the WdHeaderFooterIndex constants (wdHeaderFooterEvenPages, wdHeaderFooterFirstPage, or wdHeaderFooterPrimary), to return a single HeaderFooter object. The following example changes the text of both the primary header and the primary footer the first section of the active document.

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1) 
 .Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Header text" 
 .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = "Footer text" 
End With

You can also return a single HeaderFooter object by using the HeaderFooter property with a Selection object.

Use the DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter property with the PageSetup object to specify a different first page. The following example inserts text into the first page footer in the active document.

With ActiveDocument 
 .PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True 
 .Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage) _ 
 .Range.InsertBefore _ 
 "Written by Kate Edson" 
End With

Use the OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter property with the PageSetup object to specify different odd and even page headers and footers. If the OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter property is True, you can return an odd header or footer by using wdHeaderFooterPrimary, and you can return an even header or footer by using wdHeaderFooterEvenPages.

Use the Add method with the PageNumbers object to add a page number to a header or footer. The following example adds page numbers to the first page footer in the first section in the active document.

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1) 
 .PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True 
 .Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).PageNumbers.Add _ 
 FirstPage:=True 
End With
