Changing Header and Footer Commands in Notepad

Applies to: Windows 10

When you use Notepad in Windows 10, you can remove or change headers and footers.
The default header and footer settings in Notepad are:

Headers: &f
Footers: Page &p
These commands give you the title of the document on the top of the page and a page
number at the bottom.

These settings can't be saved, so all header and footer settings must be entered
manually each time you want to print a document.

To change headers and footers

Choose Page Setup from the File menu and enter the desired command(s) in the Header
and Footer text boxes. Here's a short list of header and footer commands:
Command Action

------- --------------------------------------
&l Left-align the characters that follow
&c Center the characters that follow
&r Right-align the characters that follow
&d Print the current date
&t Print the current time
&f Print the name of the document
&p Print the page number
In the appropriate box, insert the header or footer text you want to display. (If
you leave the Header or Footer text box empty, no header or footer will print.)
Note
In Notepad, if the formatting code is not the first item in the Header text box,
your header is centered regardless of the formatting codes you use. For example, to
align a title to the left side of the page, use &lTitle text.
