Add a Page Header or Footer

You can add a customized header or footer (or both) to all the pages when you print a model. For example, you can print the Model Name, Subject Area Name, and Diagram Name at the top of every page, and the page number, date, and time at the bottom of every page.

Note: If you manually enter incremental information in the Header or Footer text box (for example, page number, date, and so on), you cannot automatically update the text.

A toolbar is provided to make it easy for you to quickly add the following elements:

• Current Page
• Page Count
• File Name
• Subject Area Name
• Diagram Name
• Time
• Date

   The Page Setup Editor opens.

2. Click the Margins tab and work with the following options in the Header or Footer text box:
   • Click in the Header or Footer text box to specify in which area you want to insert the customized text.
   • Click the appropriate Header/Footer button to automatically insert information, or use the keyboard to insert other information (for example, your name).

   A preview of your selection displays beneath the text box.

   For example, if you selected file name and E/R diagram for the header, and date and time for the footer, then the preview would be as follows:
