Remove or Edit Internet Explorer 7 Header Footer Text
Background
By default Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) includes header and footer text onto web pages that are printed out. This is fine for most users as be default it lists the date & time and the URL. But you may want a clean page when printing or customised text for the date time etc. Here’s the How To Solutions guide.
Removing the Header Footer Text
In Internet Explorer go to File > Page Setup. You’ll see a box like the one below. In the Headers and Footers section you can remove the default text (&w&bPage &p of &P and &u&b&d). Just delete those bits and press OK.
Creating Custom Header Footer Text
You can also create custom header footer text to print out only the information you want to appear on every page. Use the set of functions below to create your own header footer text.
- &w – Window Title
- &u – Page URL
- &d – Date in short format
- &D – Date in long format
- &t – Time in regular format as shown on the clock
- &T – Time in 24-hour format
- &p – Current page number
- &P – Total number of pages
- &b – right align the next text. (You can see it in the default header, where &b is placed before the Page text)
- &b[TEXT]&b – If you surround the text in &b on either side, it will center the text.
- && – A single ampersand (&)
And that’s how to delete or edit the header footer text that appears when printing from Internet Explorer 7.
