Use this dialog to add a header or footer to a printed worksheet. For example, you might want to add a report author details or the date and time to the top of a worksheet. For a detailed example of a worksheet with a header and footer, see "About elements of a printed worksheet in Discoverer Plus Relational".
Note: A header or footer that you create is displayed on the printed worksheet but is not displayed on-screen.
Hint: Ensure that the header margin size and footer margin size specified on the "Page Setup dialog: Margins tab" are big enough to print the header and footer that you specify.

Hint: Before you insert a text variable, click inside the Left, Center, or Right fields for the header, then click Insert.
Use this button to display the "Header/Footer Font dialog", which enables you to select a font style for the header.

A variables is prefixed with an ampersand character (&) in the Left, Center, or Right fields. The value of a variable is updated when the worksheet is printed. In other words, if you display the &Time variable on a worksheet, the time value is updated each time the worksheet is printed. For example, if you insert the &Time variable into a header, Discoverer prints '08.30.00 AM' if you print the worksheet at eight-thirty in the morning and '12.00.00- PM' if you print the worksheet at midday.
