Remove footer in word

Колонтитул — это строка, расположенная на краю полосы набора текста на бумаге или в документах. В стандартном понимании этого термина, в колонтитуле содержится заголовок, название произведения (документа), имя автора, номера части, главы или параграфа. Размещается колонтитул на всех страница, это в равной степени касается печатных книг и текстовых документов, в том числе и файлов Microsoft Word.

Колонтитул в Ворде — это пустая область страницы на которой нет и не может располагаться основной текст документа или любые другие данные. Это своего рода границы страницы, расстояние от верхнего и нижнего края листа до того места, где начинается и/или заканчивается текст. Колонтитулы в Word установлены по умолчанию, а их размеры могут варьироваться и зависят от предпочтений автора или требований к конкретному документу. Однако, иногда колонтитул в документе не нужен, и в данной статье речь пойдет о том, как его убрать.

Примечание: Традиционно напоминаем, что инструкция, описываемая в этой статье, показана на примере Microsoft Office Word 2016, но при этом она применима и ко всем предыдущим версиям этой программы. Материал, изложенный ниже, поможет вам убрать колонтитул в Ворде 2003, 2007, 2010 и более новых версиях.

Как убрать колонтитул с одной страницы в MS Word?

Требования ко многим документам таковы, что первую страницу, которая является заглавной, необходимо создавать без колонтитулов.

1. Чтобы открыть средства для работы с колонтитулами, дважды кликните в пустой области листа, колонтитул которого вам нужно убрать.

2. В открывшейся вкладке «Конструктор», расположенной в главной вкладке «Работа с колонтитулами» установите галочку напротив «Особый колонтитул для первой страницы».

3. Колонтитулы с этой страницы будут удалены. В зависимости от того, что вам требуется, данную область можно оставить пустой либо же добавить исключительно для этой страницы другой колонтитул.

Примечание: Чтобы закрыть окно работы с колонтитулами, необходимо нажать на соответствующую кнопку справа на панели инструментов либо же двойным кликом левой кнопки мышки по области с текстом на листе.

Как удалить колонтитулы не на первой странице?

Для удаления колонтитулов на страницах, кроме первой (это может быть, к примеру, первая страница нового раздела), необходимо выполнить несколько иную процедуру. Для начала следует добавить разрыв раздела.

Примечание: Важно понимать, что разрыв раздела не является разрывом страницы. В случае, если перед страницей, колонтитулы с которой вы хотите удалить, уже есть разрыв страницы, его следует удалить, а вот разрыв раздела нужно добавить. Инструкция изложена ниже.

1. Кликните в том месте документа, где требуется создать страницу без колонтитулов.

2. Перейдите из вкладки «Главная» во вкладку «Макет».

3. В группе «Параметры страницы» найдите кнопку «Разрывы» и разверните ее меню.

4. Выберите пункт «Следующая страница».

5. Теперь необходимо открыть режим работы с колонтитулами. Чтобы это сделать, дважды кликните по области колонтитула в верхней или нижней части страницы.

6. Нажмите «Как в предыдущем разделе» — это уберет связь между разделами.

7. Теперь выберите пункт «Нижний колонтитул» или «Верхний колонтитул».

8. В развернувшемся меню выберите необходимую команду: «Удалить нижний колонтитул» или «Удалить верхний колонтитул».

Примечание: Если вам необходимо удалить как верхний, так и нижний колонтитулы, повторите шаги 5-8.

9. Для закрытия окна работы с колонтитулами выберите соответствующую команду (последняя кнопка на панели управления).

10. Верхний и/или нижний колонтитулы на первой странице, следующей за разрывом, будут удалены.

Желая удалить все колонтитулы, идущие за разрывом страницы, дважды кликните по области колонтитула на листе, где его нужно убрать, после чего повторите вышеописанные шаги 6-8. Если же колонтитулы на четных и нечетных страницах отличаются, действия придется повторить для каждого типа страниц отдельно.

На этом все, теперь вы знаете, как удалить колонтитул в Ворде 2010 — 2016, а также в более ранних версиях этой многофункциональной программы от Майкрософт. Желаем вам только положительного результата в работе и обучении.

Searching for a better way to work together in Microsoft Word Documents?

When working with a number of people in the same Word document you can quickly find yourself siphoning through old versions to compute who made what changes where and when.

Unless you each have a dedicated ‘edit’ day or time slot, you may also end up accidentally working on the same Word document, at the same time. Leaving you with two versions of the same file and the torturous task of merging them together without wasting 2 hours of precious billable hours.

Before you scroll any further we’d like to introduce you to the solution you have been searching for, meet Simul Docs.

Simul Docs manages version control for you, version control means they will not only save each new document automatically once an edit is made (no minor feat, with this feature alone you’ll never accidentally save over another author’s document again) but Simul gives each document a version number, relevant to when it was last edited.

This makes it easy to see which document is the most recent file and when it was last edited.

To add a cherry on top of this already sweet tool, Simul also puts the author’s name next to the saved document so you know at a glance when it was saved, how old it is AND who created it. It sounds like a lot but for Simul its a breeze and its what they love doing – making your collaborating life a whole lot easier.

Now without sounding too smug, Simul also has a whole heap of other cool features that might help your team collaborate better.

Think tracked changes, they are automatically turned on, every single new change is tracked and saved. You quite literally will never miss an edit again. Amazing!

Then Simul makes merging as easy as the click of a button.

If two team members are working simultaneously on the document, Simul has your back. Simul will allow the changes to be made, save each version as a new document and let you know there are two new updates for your review. Upon review, you can accept or decline each author’s changes and press ‘merge’. Done. Documents merged!
