Details

When you open this dialog box and click OK, printouts of the current notebook will have headers and footers added according to the specified settings:

	Centered:	print in the center of the header/footer
	Right aligned:	print against right page margin of the header/footer
	Include line	insert rule below selected header/above selected footer

The Wolfram System saves these settings from the dialog with the notebook so it will be printed the same way in the future.
The text displayed in the dialog's fields is typically a Cell expression. You can use Cell ▶ Show Expression to see the expression corresponding to a cell in a notebook.
The following are some useful Cell expressions to use as headers or footers:
Cell[TextData[{CounterBox[ "Page"]}],"PageNumber"] defines a cell with the automatic numbering object "Page" using the cell style "PageNumber". The appropriate page number replaces CounterBox["Page"] and is incremented for each printed page.
Cell[TextData[{"FileName"}],"PageHeader"] inserts the value display object "FileName" using the cell style "PageHeader". The notebook's file name, a string, replaces TextData[{"FileName"}]. This object can be replaced by an arbitrary string. Use the value None to use a blank entry in a text field of the header or footer.
