In PowerPoint, you can add headers and footers to slides and handouts in a similar way as you can in Word. However, the steps to add a footer in PowerPoint are a little different. Here we will show you how to add and edit a footer template for your PowerPoint presentation.

To add a header and footer, click on the Insert -> Header & Footer option, and then a new dialog box will be displayed as follows.

Here you can control what to include in your slides, date and time, slide number, and footer text. Make sure to check the Footer checkbox and enter the desired footer line. If you want to not show this footer text in the title slide template, then you can check Don't show on title slide.

How to Change a Template Footer in PowerPoint 2010

You can change the footer template to suit any layout you want. For example, you may want to show a footer only on the header + content of a slide layout or comparison layout, but not on the cover slide. You can do this by editing the Master Slide or PowerPoint Template and then selecting the Footer section. Here you can apply any text style or footer transformation.

Now close Master View using the cross red button and return to normal view. In PowerPoint 2007, editing the footer template is very similar. You can also change how the footer appears on your slides and apply text styles.

The header and footer are called header data, placed above or below text on several or all pages of a document. They usually contain the title of the work, part, chapter, paragraph, copyright information, company logo, page number, time or date of creation of the slide, etc.

For slide Microsoft PowerPoint Only the footer can be specified.

Header text, unlike other headings and inscriptions, is repeated on each slide. When you create headers and footers in Microsoft PowerPoint, you don't have to manually type this information on each slide. When you add new slides to your document, a footer is automatically attached to them.

You can access the settings for headers and footers in Microsoft PowerPoint by clicking the Header and Footers button on the Insert tab of the control ribbon. After this, the Header and Footer dialog box opens, which contains two tabs: Slide And Notes and Issues. Let's look at the elements of each tab.

Slide dialog box Headers and footers You can customize the display of headers and footers on a presentation slide. Consider these elements:

• Date and time- allows you to add a date and time to the footer, the format of which can be set using a group of controls and drop-down lists. For example, you can choose a specific fixed date or synchronize it with current time. You can also determine how the date is displayed by selecting one of standard methods in the drop-down list, or enter the date yourself;
• Slide number- allows you to number the slides. The corresponding slide number will be added to the footer;
• Footer- in the installed position allows you to unlock the corresponding input field, in which you can set arbitrary text for the footer;
• Do not show on title slide- determines whether the header and footer will be displayed on the first slide of the presentation;
• Apply to all- fixes the changes made to all footers of all presentation slides. Button Apply commits changes made only to the slide that was selected when the dialog box opened Headers and footers.

In this way you can easily number the slides V automatic mode. When adding or deleting slides, the numbering will automatically be set in accordance with the new version of the presentation, which is undoubtedly very convenient. Also quite a convenient feature is the ability to include the date and time the slide was created directly in the slide footer.

Tab controls Notes and Issues dialog box Headers and footers You can customize the display of headers and footers in the printed version of the presentation. Here, PowerPoint gives you a little more customization options than in the previous case. The difference is the ability to add a header to the page. This is done by checking the box Header and the corresponding input field.

Notice the bottom right part of the dialog box Headers and footers. This shows a schematic view of the headers and footers on a page or slide.

Please note that when print presentation, in addition to the headers and footers installed on the tab Notes and Issues dialog box Headers and footers, the slides' own footers will also be printed.
