Ways to Align Header/Footer Content to Left/Right Margins in MS Word

Avoid a bad wrap in Word

If the content at either margin is longer than one line can support, you will encounter an issue while utilizing a custom tab to align content to the left and ring margins on the same line. An easy illustration of what you can encounter is shown in Figure A. This occurs when people don’t completely comprehend how to use the header’s alignment tabs. The header has two alignment tabs by default: Centre and right. With a little illustration, we can best explain the default configuration: The first tab, Centre, aligns all of the text on the left side of the screen to within 1em of each other; this is typically what you would want if you want all your text to be on one side of your screen. The second tab, Right, aligns all of the text on the right side of the screen to within 1em of each other; this is typically what you would want if you want all your text to be on one side of your screen but want it centered in your window. If both tabs are not at their defaults (Centre and Right), then some text may be off-center or even off-screen because it was not aligned properly when it was added to the document.

-The Centre and right alignment tabs can be used without doing anything. This makes it easier to find the right tab when you need it, since you don’t have to search through a pile of tabs. -It also makes it easier to make changes to your text, since you don’t have to worry about which tab is the right one. -It’s also easy to find the tab that corresponds with the main content of your article, since there are many tabs in the default layout.

The alignment tabs do not need to be set when you create a new document.
