Headers and footers are added to each page that matches the specified page traits (first, odd, even, last). Include dynamic content such as current page number and total page count. Add Tables to a section. Add rows to a table. Add cells to a row and add any paragraph to a cell. Specify spacings, margins, borders, and backgrounds.
