To format a header or footer in script, include formatting codes within the SetContent() call, for example:

Code Block
c#
c#

using SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ExcelWriter;

public class HeaderFooterDemo : System.Web.UI.Page
{
     protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
     {
          ExcelApplication xla = new ExcelApplication();
          Workbook wb = xla.Create();
          Worksheet sheet1 = wb.Worksheets[0];
          PageSetup pgsetup = sheet1.PageSetup;
          HeaderFooterSection leftHeader =
               pgsetup.GetHeader(HeaderFooterSection.Section.Left);
          leftHeader.SetContent("Document name: &F");
          HeaderFooterSection centerHeader =
               pgsetup.GetHeader(HeaderFooterSection.Section.Center);
          centerHeader.SetContent("Basic Report");
          HeaderFooterSection rightHeader =
               pgsetup.GetHeader(HeaderFooterSection.Section.Right);
          rightHeader.SetContent("Generated by OfficeWriter");
          HeaderFooterSection leftFooter =
               pgsetup.GetFooter(HeaderFooterSection.Section.Left);
          leftFooter.SetContent("Created on date &D");
          HeaderFooterSection centerFooter =
               pgsetup.GetFooter(HeaderFooterSection.Section.Center);
          centerFooter.SetContent("Page &P of &N");
          HeaderFooterSection rightFooter =
               pgsetup.GetFooter(HeaderFooterSection.Section.Right);
          rightFooter.SetContent("Create at time &T");
     }
}

  1. In Microsoft Excel, open the File menu and select Page Setup...
  2. Select the Header/Footer tab.
  3. Select a header and/or footer from the drop-down list.



    Or, create a custom header/footer.

  4. Save the spreadsheet.
  5. In an ExcelWriter script, open the spreadsheet containing headers/footers. Use either ExcelTemplate.Open or ExcelApplication.Open to open the spreadsheet.
  6. Modify the spreadsheet in script. Do not change the text of headers and footers; if you do, the original formatting will be overwritten and default formatting will be applied.
