And guess what? I didn’t have a clue how to do that. Ironically, one of my first clients needed a small consulting site with different headers on different pages. You also have the option to create a separate footer for the first page of the text, as well as different footers for odd and even pages.When I just started out in WordPress website development, I had miserable skills and didn’t know a lot of things. Keep in mind that everything we talked about headers so far can be applied to footers in Google Docs. As mentioned earlier, you also have the option to combine the “Different odd & even” and “Different first page” header options. When you scroll down the document, you will notice different headers for odd and even pages. Click anywhere outside the odd page header.
Click anywhere outside the even page header. Check the “Different odd & even” box on the new window. Select “Header format” on the drop-down menu. Navigate to “Options” on the upper-right side of the document. Note: If you want to use a different header for the first page, don’t right-click on the first page of that document. Go to the document that you want to edit. Follow the steps below to find out how it’s done: This process is similar to how you would set a different first page header in a Google Docs text. Google Docs also lets you create different headers for odd and even pages. Enter the header and customize it any way you want. Click on the blue “Apply” button in the same window. Check the “Different first page” option under the “Layout” section. Select “Header format” from the drop-down menu. Click on the “Options” tab on the top-right side of the text. There is another way to create a different header for the first page of your document. Make sure to follow these steps in the correct order. If you do this the other way around and enter the header first, it will disappear from the first page when you check the box. Remember that you need to check the “Different First Page” box before typing in the header. Your changes will be automatically saved. Customize it any way you want (e.g., choose the font, size, color, alignment, and other details). Click on the “Different first page” box in the top-right corner of the document. However, for a different first-page header, you need to do this on the first page of that document. Note: If you want the header to be the same for all pages, you can click on any page. Double-click the top of the first page. However, the first-page header can look completely different from all the other headers. You can also just click on the “Options” tab in the top-right corner and choose “Remove header.” Different First PageĪs we mentioned before, you don’t have the option to set a different header for each page in your Google Docs file. Once you click anywhere outside the header, it will disappear, and the top of the page will be blank. To delete a header in Google Docs, all you need to do is delete anything written in that field. You can even set the exact margins for both the header and the footer. For instance, you can change the font, the size of the letters, the alignment, the color, and whether the header is in bold, italics, or underlined. 
Google Docs lets you customize the headers almost as much as Microsoft Word. If you open an old document, you will notice the header appeared on top of each file page. This is useful for large files with more than 10 pages, so you won’t need to scroll all the way up just to add a header. You don’t even have to double-click on the first page – any page is fine. Therefore, you won’t have to take any additional steps to save your header.Īnother way to quickly insert a header in Google Docs is to open a file and double-click on the top of the document.
One of the most convenient features of Google Docs is that all changes are automatically saved.
Enter the header on the top of the document. Select “Headers & Footers” from the drop-down menu. Navigate to the “Insert” tab on the top toolbar when you’re in the document. Start a new document or open an old one from the “Recent documents” section. Open Google Docs on your preferred browser. First, let’s see how you would create a header in Google Docs, and then we’ll move on to how you can customize them. 
If you want, you can use only one of these options or both in the same document.
