Headers & Footers in Pages

Hi LLB,

Assuming you are talking about Page headers, and not Table Header rows, then unless it's been changed, you can use 'single column' headers by entering header text into only one of the three boxes available,

Entered in the left box, the header text will be aligned to the left page margin.

Entered in the right box,, the header text will be aligned to the right page margin.

Entered in the middle box, the header text will be centred horizontally on the page,

In all cases the text will flow over the implied box margins into the adjacent box(es) if necessary.

Regards,

Barry

"…Is there a setting for this?"

Not that I'm aware of. Mine is an older version of Pages (post iWork '09, but not version 10), in which the automatic alignment work as I've described. That may have changed with Pages 10, but I've not seen mention of a setting to control it.

Here's an example showing a full-width header in the centre block. Page margins can be seen left and right of the body text.

The header will take one more character before bumping into the document margin and wrapping to a second row.

Does this fit the bill?

The only changes here are "centre" to "left" in the wording, and placing the text in the left box of the header instead of the middle box.
