REMOVE HEADER / FOOTER

Information

We've provided an Add-on solution in order to make it more easy for people to remove a header / footer altogether, by simply installing this Add-on. It does exactly what it says: removes the header or footer and sets the page margin to zero, to maximize the effect of the removal. Of course it can only do that if one is present. A proper error message will be shown if it can't remove anything that's not there and a message will be shown if the removal was successful.

Please read the warning text from the menu (Documents by Top Contributors > Remove header / footer > Warning) before continuing to remove a header / footer, as once removed, a header or footer can't be added (for the moment). This applies only in the document you are working in.
