+<para>With multi-page documents, you might want to provide certain
+information at the top or bottom of each page throughout the document.
+Headers or footers can provide the reader with important information and they tie your
+documents together visually. </para>
+
+<para>Headers and footers are special frames.
+You can edit the text and data within the headers and
+footers just as you would any other text frame. What makes headers and footers
+different from most other frames in &kword; is that they are automatically created at the top and bottom
+of each page.</para>
+
+<note><para>Headers and footers are only available when using text oriented templates.</para></note>

+from the menubar.</para>
+
+<para>The footers will be
+added below the margins you set under page setup. The text within the
+main frames will be moved so the headers and/or footers do not overlap
+any text.</para>
+
+<para>Since headers and footers are simply text frames that are placed on each page, you can use all of the
+tools and techniques you are familiar with to create your header and footer information.</para>
