You can display this view by choosing View, Header and Footer without having to choose a style from the Ribbon. When you choose a header or footer style, Word changes the interface so that you can type in your header or footer. Some of the styles apply tables to the header or footer, so if you click into one of these styles, the Format Tables tab on the Ribbon will activate. Notice that some styles affect only odd-numbered or even-numbered pages. The basic layout of three positions (left, center, and right) is the first style on the palette. Clicking either the Header or Footer button displays a gallery from which you can choose a style for your header or footer. The quick way to work with headers and footers is by way of the Header and Footer group on the Office 2011 Ribbon s Document Elements tab.
You can work with headers and footers in several of Word 2011's views.
