You can place anything in this section, but Word uses header and footer information in all pages. In other words, if you want to copy headers and footers from the current worksheet to 150 other worksheets spread across 15 different workbooks, all you need to do is open the 15 workbooks at the same time, display the source worksheet, and run the macro.Microsoft Word gives you the option to place a header and footer at the top and bottom of your pages. The following macro will copy the headers and footers from the active worksheet to all other worksheets in all other open workbooks. If you have quite a few worksheets and workbooks into which you want the headers and footers copied, there is a different macro approach you can use. You could even assign the macros to toolbar buttons or to the Quick Access toolbar, if desired, which can make them even handier for copying headers and footers. You can then display, in turn, each worksheet that you want to have the same header and footer and run the DoHeaders macro. This macro copies the header and footer information to string variables. All you need to do is display the source worksheet and use the GetHeaders macro. The following two macros can be used to copy headers and footers in one simple step. In this case, using a macro to do the copying is the saner approach. While these steps work fine, they can be tedious if you need to copy headers and footers to a number of different workbooks. What you essentially did is to copy the worksheet containing the header and footer you desired, then you copied that header and footer to other worksheets in the workbook, then you deleted the original worksheet.
After all, there are three sections (left, center, and right) for each header and three for each footer. The drawback to this approach is that it can involve quite a few steps. In other words, you can select the header material you want to copy, press Ctrl+C, display the header in the target worksheet, and then press Ctrl+V. One way to copy headers and footers from a worksheet in one workbook to a worksheet in another is to use the traditional editing methods of copying and pasting. You can then create your workbooks based on this template and it will have the headers and footers you desire. Then, save the workbook as an Excel template (XLTX format).
Just set up a workbook as desired, including the specification of headers and footers. If the header and footer is one you use quite a bit in new workbooks, and your main concern is to have the header and footer available in those new workbooks (not in existing workbooks), then the best approach would be to create a template workbook. Doing so within a workbook is relatively easy, but doing so from one workbook to another can be more daunting. You may want to copy these headers and footers from one worksheet to another. Excel allows you to specify headers and footers for your worksheets.
