A header is special text that appears in or near the margin at the top of a document, while a footer appears at the bottom. If you don’t want to remove all headers and/or footers, you can just remove the one(s) that appear on the first page.

In this article today, I want to show you how to remove Headers and heading styles in Microsoft Word.

I want to kill two birds with one stone since headers and heading styles are two different things altogether. So in the first part of this tutorial, I’ll explain how to remove or delete a header in Word before looking at heading styles.

A header is the top margin of a page in Microsoft Word. Headers are normally used for titles, page numbers, dates, logos and other essential bits of information.

There are two ways to remove or delete a header in Microsoft Word. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Option 1: Using the Remove header command

To delete or remove headers in Word:

  • Go to the Insert tab.
Click the Insert tab
  • In the Header & Footer group, click on the Header button.
  • A drop-down box will appear, click on Remove Header at the bottom of the drop-down to remove the header from your Word document.

This is how you may exit headers in Microsoft Word.

Option 2: Clear all the header content to remove the header in Word

Another way to delete header in Word is to double-click on the header area to make it editable. Then select all the content in the header and hit the delete key. After deleting the header content, the header itself will disappear from all your pages.

How to remove heading styles in Word

Microsoft Word comes with a library of heading styles you can use in your document.

These styles are very handy as it allows you to apply
changes to all your headings at once. It also allows you to do other fancy
things like collapse and expand content under each heading.

Heading styles also helps if you want to insert an automatic table of Content into your document.

Despite all these awesome things heading styles can do, you may want to remove it in your Word document for some reason.

Without further ado, below are the various ways you can
remove headings in Word.

First Option: Apply Normal Paragraph style

All the heading styles, Heading 1 through Heading 9, have their own formatting, which you can modify anyway.

There’s also a style called Normal style. It is designed to have the same formatting as the body text. And applying this style means you are switching from one of the headings to a body text, removing all the heading properties from the text.

The steps are bulleted below:

  • Highlight the heading or headings you want to remove the styles from. If you want to remove heading styles from the entire document, use Ctrl+A to select all content in the document. Just know that selecting all will clear every other formatting like Bold, Italic, bullets (●), and so on.
Highligt the heading text from which you want to remove the styles
  • Go to the Home tab, in the Styles
    group, and select Normal.
Select the Normal styles option

Clicking the Normal style option will remove the
heading properties from the text.

Option two: Remove Heading Styles Using the styles dialog

There’s a dialog box that contains most of the styles. Through
this dialog of styles, you can change any heading into a body text or normal
text by clearing all the styles or formatting applied to the text.

Just follow the steps below to see what I am talking about:

  • Highlight the heading or headings you wish to change
    into a normal text.
Highligt the heading text from which you want to remove the styles
  • Press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S to display the Styles dialog box
Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S to display the Styles dialog
  • Click on Clear All to remove the heading
    style properties from the text.

All the formats that were making the heading to look different from the body text will disappear. The body text and the headings will have the same appearance now.

Option 3: Using the “Clear All Formatting” Command

There’s yet, another command that performs the same task as
in the previous methods.

This is a command that clears all formatting that has been
applied to text in Word.

To use this command, the steps are outlined below:

  • Highlight the Heading you want to change
Highligt the heading text from which you want to remove the styles
  • Go to the Home tab, in the Font group,
    click on the “Clear all formatting” icon.

See screenshot:

In the Home tab, Click on "Clear All Formatting"

Now Word will remove all the Heading style properties (AKA
formatting) from the selection, leaving only the normal, unformatted text.

  • Bonus Tip: Another place to get access to the Clear Formatting command is in the Styles library section. Go to the Home tab, in the Styles group, click the small triangular icon at the right side to expand for more styles.

See screenshot:

Expand the Styles section
  • Near the bottom of the expanded box, click on “Clear
    Formatting    ”
Click "Clear Formatting" to remove heading styles in word

This is how you may remove heading styles in word.

A page header is text that is separate to the body text and will appear at the top of your Microsoft Word document. Often used to display information such as the document name, date or pages number on multi-page documents.

Headers can be very helpful when you are working on long reports, but they do take up space on your page and sometimes they are just not necessary.

In this post, we will show you how to remove the header from your Word Document at the click of a button.

Once the header is removed, the information sitting in this header will also be deleted. If you would like to keep the document title we suggest you copy this down into the body of text before following these steps to remove the header.

Removing the Header from your Word Document

  1. Open Microsoft Word
  2. Click the Insert Tab
  1. Find and Press Header
  1. Select Remove Header

You have now successful removed the header from your document.

If you have a footer to remove, follow the steps above clicking Footer in step 3.

Searching for a way to collaborate with ease?

You’ve been tasked with updating and styling the header on a Word Document that your team has been collaborating on before it is sent off for final review. You spend hours making it look perfect, aligning the logo and making sure the text is perfect. When you are happy with the final result, you press save, give the document a new version number, let’s say presentation_v18_Headerupdated and cross your fingers the rest of your team are able to find the document in the cluttered, unorganised shared drive.

John in marketing misses your updated document and starts editing an old version, leaving your team with two ‘new’ versions of the same document and no way to merge them together. Its no-ones fault, the team just work quickly and all have slightly different methods of naming and storing files.

With so many different methods, this is where collaboration becomes harder than it should be and you can enlist the help a tool built to manage version control.

git git-scm.com free and open source distributed version control system p.s. for beginners… - ppt download

A tool such as Simul Docs.

Version Control and Collaboration for Microsoft Word | Simul Docs

Simul Docs was built with you in mind, with the understanding that you don’t want to continue living with a messy shared drive and you’d love to be able to access files at the click of a button.

By importing the first version of your Word Document into Simul, Simul will automatically save this file as version 0.0.1, with your name next to the document as its author.

You can then share the document with whoever you’d like to collaborate with. Send it to the marketing team, to your manager and to your client.

By sharing the document, your colleagues will receive an email letting them know you have a document waiting for their review. When they click the Simul link in the email, the Word file will automatically open for them in Simul’s easy to use dashboard. Each user can then decide if they’d like to edit the document directly in Simul, or export it out and edit in Microsoft Word.

No matter which editing option they choose, all of the handy Simul collaboration functions will work.

As they start to make some minor (or major) edits, Simul will track every change, without them even turning on comments or tracked changes. Because a change that isn’t tracked can cause confusion for everyone.

Now they are done editing, they press ok and close Simul (or Word). You will be sent an email letting you know there is now a new version (in this case version 0.0.2) with some changes for your revisions.

Jump into Simul, accept or decline the changes or just thank the author for their amazing efforts and you’re done.

This process can be repeated with as many versions, authors, collaborates and edits as you please. There is no limit to how long your collaboration can take, Simul will work in the background for you for as long as you need.

Once you’ve reached the final version of your document, you can save, export or share the file using any cloud sharing system you already have in place, such as GoogleDocs, Dropbox and OneDrive. Or, share via email or a direct link.

If you’d prefer to just export the final version and drop it into your shared drive, that’s simple too. Export the file as a Word doc. or PDF and save it wherever you like.

It’s a great way to collaborate, knowing in the back of your mind that Simul is keeping an eye on all of the changes made so you won’t miss a thing.
