TFORM also lets you vary the placement of your header from page to page.

Suppose you plan to print your document using both sides of the paper and

then binding it like a book. You’d probably want your headers to appear in

the outer corners for highest visibility. Thus, on the left-facing (or even-

numbered) pages, you’d want the header to be left-justified; and on the

right-facing (or odd-numbered pages), you’d want the header to be right-

justified. Your TFORM commands in that case should look like this:

\HEADER EVEN "Section 2: Overview"

\HEADER ODD "||Section 2: Overview"

Setting Footers A footer is just like a header, except that it’s at the bottom of the page.

Typically, you use footers for version information, notices of copyright or

confidentiality, or page numbers.

As with headers, TFORM lets you divide a footer into three separate fields.

You can also vary the placement of your footer from page to page. Finally,

if you put the character “#” anywhere in the text of your footer, TFORM

substitutes the current page number for it.

“Company Confidential”centered, and the page number right-justified.

Your FOOTER command should look like this:

Or maybe you’re binding your document like a book and just want page

numbers in the outer corners for maximum visibility. Your commands

should look like this:

\FOOTER EVEN "#"

\FOOTER ODD "||#"
