Layout (Headers and Footers)

This Headers and Footers setting allows you to configure the header and footer areas. You can choose Standard or Custom. The Standard layout is very straightforward and easy to use. The Custom layout is useful if you either need very precise control over the layout of your header and footer or if you want to be able to format the text more specifically, such as making one line bold and another italicized, or using two different fonts altogether.
