# HeaderFooter Object

> Represents a header or footer in the document. A header or footer can be obtained through the TXTextControl.headersAndFooters property. The collection obtained through the TXTextControl.headersAndFooters property contains headers and footers which are common to all sections of the document. If a header or footer is added to this collection all sections of the document have the same header or footer. These headers and footers are connected, which means that changing the contents of such a header or footer also changes the content of all other section's headers or footers.
