Headers and footers refer to text, graphics, or data fields (such as page number, date, sheet tab name, and so on) that can appear at the top or bottom of each page in a SpreadsheetML document. A header appears in the top margin (above the main document content on the page), while a footer appears in the bottom margin of a document page (below the main document content on the page).
Since SpreadsheetML is a flow-based format, headers and footers are applied by specifying the headers and footers for all pages in a particular section of a document. Within each section of a document, there can be up to three different types of headers and footers, and within each header/footer type there are three locations: "left", "center", and "right".
First page header/footer
First page headers and footers specify up to three headers and footers which shall appear on left, center, and right sides of the first page of a section.
Odd page header/footer
Odd page headers and footers specify up to three headers and footers which shall appear on left, center, and right sides of all odd-numbered pages in a given section.
Even page header/footer
Even page headers and footers specify up to three headers and footers which shall appear on left, center, and right sides of all even-numbered pages in a given section.
