Headers and footers belong to a document or to one of its sections. The `TXTextControl` members below choose which headers and footers a document or section contains, activate and select them, set their position and style and connect a header or footer to the one of the previous section.

Headers and footers are only visible in page view; the guide page [Headers and Footers](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/headers-footers/llms-full.txt) shows them in use.
