Here’s how to set up a test document to show you how it works it works the same for headers and footers - I only describe it for headers in these steps: Well, you don’t have to anymore! It seems this ‘new’ feature has been around since Word 2007, but I must have missed it.

The workaround that many people used to control the placement was borderless tables in the headers/footers combined with ‘AutoFit to Window’. One of the annoyances with earlier versions of Word was what happened to left-, centre-, and right-aligned text in headers and footers when you inserted a landscape section. I didn’t know you could do this!! Not until I read this article, anyway.
