How to remove headers and footer fields in Numbers?

Hello there, alogarol.

It sounds like you are wanting to edit/remove content form headers and footers on a Numbers Spreadsheet. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information on that topic:

Numbers for Mac: Using headers and footers for printing

Numbers for Mac 3.2 and later includes options for headers and footers when printing your spreadsheets.

If you would like to include headers and footers when you print your Numbers spreadsheets in Numbers 3.2 and later, you can do this by editing them on the Print Setup screen.

1. Choose Print from the File menu.
2. You should see a preview of how the sheet will look when you print it.
3. To edit the headers for the sheet, click the top of any page and add the information you would like there. To edit the footers, click the bottom of any page and add the information there.

You can use the Zoom menu to make it easier to edit header and footer content.

By default, page numbers are included in the center of the footer section. If you want to remove the page numbers, you can select one in the preview and delete it. Changes that you make to the header or footer of one page affect all pages for the sheet. However, the header and footer is separate for each sheet in your spreadsheet.

Changes you make to your headers and footers are saved as part of the spreadsheet. If you want to exit the Print Setup screen without printing, click Done in the inspecto

Hi Alogarol,

I think you are referring to this thread:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4967405

The closest I can get to make an object fill the whole page from top to bottom is this (in Menu > File > Print... to see Print Preview)

BTW, the headers and Footers are visible only because I hovered the cursor over Print Preview.

Settings in Print Setup

And 1 point text in all three sections of the Page Header and Page Footer. (But they don't shrink 😐.)

I can drag the object (not in Print Preview, but normal view) to the top of the page to obscure the Page Header (which is blank). But I can't get the object to cover the Page Footer. Excess spills onto Page 2.

I can't find a way to delete the Header and Footer fields.

Regards,

Ian.

I tried the same method in Numbers '09. Here is Print Preview, and it fills less of the page!

This is under OSX El Capitan 10.11.1

A vague memory tells me that in Pages '09 under older versions of OSX we could hide the Header and Footer fields. Perhaps this is a casualty of Numbers '09 now being "orphanware" and is slowly losing features under newer OSX versions.

Regards,

Ian.

Hi Olga,

I do not think that Numbers '09 will help you. My first reply was made with Numbers 3.6.1 and El Capitan. My second reply was made with Numbers'09 and El Capitan. Neither allows us to hide the Headers and Footers.

Your English is better than my Spanish! Google Translate 😉.

Regards,

Ian.

P.S. did you know about this Spanish forum? https://communities.apple.com/es/welcome

I do not know if it has any Numbers questions. Ian.

Hola Olga,

No creo que Numbers '09 le ayudarán. Mi primera respuesta fue hecho con los números 3.6.1 y El Capitán. Mi segunda respuesta se hizo con los números 09 y El Capitan. Ni nos permite ocultar los encabezados y pies de página.

Su Inglés es mejor que mi español! Traductor Google 😉.

Saludos,

Ian.

PD supo de este foro español? https://communities.apple.com/es/welcome

No sé si tiene alguna pregunta =Números. Ian.
