Delete a header or footer

When you delete a header or footer, Microsoft Word automatically deletes the same header or footer throughout the entire document. To delete a header or footer for part of a document, you must first divide that part of the document into a separate section and then delete the header or footer in that section only.

To remove the header and footer from a section of the document, do the following:

On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
If necessary, click Show Previous or Show Next on the Header and Footer toolbar to move to the header or footer that you want to delete.
NOTE Make sure that the Link to Previous button is not activated in the section or in the following section, or all of your headers and footers will be removed even if you separated the document into sections.

In the header or footer area, select the text and graphics, and then press DELETE.
To remove the header or footer from the first page only, or for odd or even pages, do the following:

On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Layout tab.
Under Headers and Footers, select Different odd and even or Different first page.
NOTE To make more space available on the page, you may need to change the margins that include space for a header or footer. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab. If the content of a header or footer is deleted, but there is still space available for the header or footer, click the Layout tab, and then adjust the From edge settings.
