Information can be added to the header and footer sections of an Excel worksheet using the ExcelXP, MSoffice2K, and HTML ODS destinations. The information added to the header and footer sections of the Excel worksheet are displayed when the worksheet is printed or previewed.

There are a variety of things that can be added, such as the "Page X of Y" format for the page numbers, text, and style modifications of the text such as justification. Below is a table of some of the common codes that can be used to enhance the text added to the header and footer sections of the ODS destinations.

The ExcelXP destination adds the title and footnote information to the header and footer sections by default if the EMBEDDED_TITLES= or the EMBEDDED_FOOTNOTES= ExcelXP tagset options are not supplied. The options place the title and footnote into the worksheet. If the titles and footnotes are within the worksheet, the PRINT_HEADER= and the PRINT_FOOTER= options can be added to supply information to the header and footer sections of the worksheet.

The MSOffice2K and HTML destinations can use the HEADTEXT= option to pass information for the header and footer sections using the MSO-HEADER-DATA and the MSO-FOOTER-DATA CSS style properties. The table below lists some of the special codes that can be used within the header and footer sections.

Code	Function
&L	Left aligns text
&C	Centers text
&B	Bolds text
&I	Turns italic on
&U	Underlines text
&S	Turns strikethrough on
&O	Turns outlining on (Mac only)
&H	Turns shadow printing on (Mac only)
&D	Prints current date
&T	Prints current time
&A	Prints name of sheet
&F	Prints name of workbook
&P	Prints page number
&P+number	Prints page number plus number
&P-number	Prints page number minus number

&& “fontname,fontstyle”	Prints the characters the following font and style
&nn	Prints the characters that follow in the point size
&N	Prints total number of pages
&E	Prints double underline
&X	Prints superscript
