This property specifies the position of a header or footer. For headers, the position value is the distance between the top of the header and the top of the page. For footers, the position value is the distance between the bottom of the footer and the bottom of the page. All values are in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips). The default value is 567 [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips) = 1 cm. The [SectionCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectioncurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property determines the section, the header or footer belongs to. The property returns -1, if more than one section is specified through the [SectionCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/sectioncurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property and these sections' header or footer position are different.
