FAQ

Why does double-clicking the page not open header or footer editing?

  1. Confirm that the file is an editable document and not in a read-only preview state.
  2. Move the pointer to the blank area at the top or bottom of the page and double-click again.
  3. If it still does not open, use the Header & Footer menu from the Insert or Page tab instead.
  4. Check whether an editable area appears at the top or bottom of the page.

How do I remove page numbers that were already added?

  1. Open the Header & Footer drop-down menu from the Insert tab.
  2. Find the command related to removing page numbers.
  3. Run the command and check whether page numbers are removed from the document.
  4. Save the document so the updated version is kept.

Can I change the color of the header line style?

  1. Open Insert → Header & Footer → Header Line.
  2. Select an existing line style or add a new header line.
  3. Find the Header Line Color setting and choose the color you want.
  4. Preview the page to confirm that the line matches the document style.

Why do different sections still change together?

  1. Check whether a section break has been inserted at the correct location.
  2. Open the header or footer area for the section that should be edited separately.
  3. Edit that section again and review the result section by section.
  4. After finishing a long document, preview the full file from beginning to end.
