You use the Header and Footer dialog box to define descriptive text to display with your tables.

Choose Tables > Global Header and Footer from the menu, or click the Header and Footer button in the Preferences tab.

When you open the dialog box using the Global Header and Footer menu option, the dialog box defines global headers and footers. These are applied to all of the tables in the table document. If any other headers and footers are defined in the same position for any of the tables, they will appear on those tables after the global headers and footers.

When you open the dialog box from the Preferences tab, the dialog box shows the headers and footers defined for the current table, but not any global headers and footers that have been defined.

This section contains underlined links representing each of the four header and four footer positions. Click on a link to see the texts that are defined in that position and to add, edit, or delete them.

This is a list of the fields that you can use to insert information about the tables, filters, weighting, data set, population date and time, and so on. You can optionally use more than one field in a position and you can combine the fields with plain text. See Header and footer fields for more information.

Defines the text for the header or footer position selected above. You can type in text and use fields to insert standard information (such as the name of the weighting variable or information about the filters). Select the required field in the list on the left and click Insert to insert the field at the cursor position. You can use a limited number of HTML tags to insert hyperlinks and define formatting for the texts. See Valid header and footer HTML tags for more information.

Click this button if you want to revert to the default settings for all headers and footers.
