Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android spreadsheets, WPS lets you open print preview, enter Page Setup, and choose a header or footer style that repeats on each page. | Microsoft Word provides Insert > Header or Footer, built-in styles, text editing, and removal options for document headers and footers. | Google Docs lets users add headers and footers in documents that use pages format, with options for first page, section-based, and odd/even layouts. | Notion help content focuses on customizing the header of a published Notion Site for navigation and display, rather than printed document headers and footers. | Adobe Acrobat lets users add headers and footers to PDFs for items such as page numbers and dates after the file is already in PDF format. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Android workflow is centered on print preview and Page Setup, which fits spreadsheet print layout adjustment on mobile devices. | Compared with WPS: The official page focuses on document editing through the Insert menu rather than a spreadsheet print-preview workflow on Android. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs offers broader document layout options, but headers and footers depend on pages format instead of a spreadsheet print-preview path. | Compared with WPS: Notion's header customization is for website presentation and navigation, not spreadsheet printing. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for PDF post-processing after export, not page setup inside spreadsheet editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to adjust spreadsheet headers or footers quickly before printing on Android, WPS provides a direct mobile workflow through print preview and Page Setup. Other products also support related capabilities, but their official guidance is centered on document editing, online document layout, website headers, or PDF post-processing.
