In MS Word page border options, there are checkboxes to choose whether page border surrounds header/footer or not. This feature is very important for which can be used to manage the positional relation between page border and header/footer. Spire.Doc supports to set the two frequently-used features: page border and header/footer, and it supports to manage their spatial relations, too. This article is going to introduce the method to set whether page border surrounds header/footer or not.

Note: before start, please download the latest version of Spire.Doc and add the .dll in the bin folder as the reference of Visual Studio.

Step 1: Create a Word document and add a section.

            Document document = new Document();
            Section section = document.AddSection();

Step 2: Add a sample page border to the document using Spire.Doc library.

            section.PageSetup.Borders.BorderType = BorderStyle.Wave;
            section.PageSetup.Borders.Color = Color.Green;
            section.PageSetup.Borders.Left.Space = 20;
            section.PageSetup.Borders.Right.Space = 20;

Step 3: Add sample header and footer to the document using Spire.Doc library.

            //add a header and set its format
            Paragraph paragraph1 = section.HeadersFooters.Header.AddParagraph();
            paragraph1.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
            TextRange headerText = paragraph1.AppendText("Header isn't included in page border");
            headerText.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
            headerText.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 20;
            headerText.CharacterFormat.Bold = true;

            //add a footer and set its format
            Paragraph paragraph2 = section.HeadersFooters.Footer.AddParagraph();
            paragraph2.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
            TextRange footerText = paragraph2.AppendText("Footer is included in page border");
            footerText.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Calibri";
            footerText.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 20;
            footerText.CharacterFormat.Bold = true;

Step 4: Set the header not included in the page border while the footer included.

            section.PageSetup.PageBorderIncludeHeader = false;
            section.PageSetup.HeaderDistance = 40;
            section.PageSetup.PageBorderIncludeFooter = true;
            section.PageSetup.FooterDistance = 40;

Step 5: Save the document and launch to see effect.

            document.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");
