Are there "header" and "footer" for the left & right sides of a Microsoft Word Document?
In addition to Eric's excellent answer, here's an addition.When I'm not teaching, my job is to "translate" Layout designs create by graphic design agencies into Word or PowerPoint (sometime Excel) templates. As design agencies seldom have more than very basic understanding of Office (they use InDesign), I constantly get "odd" designs to translate into Word, and just recently, a design for a letter template called for the client addresses down the right-hand edge of each page from the second page onwards. So if that's what you're trying to acheive, here's how I did it:Set the header/footer options to "Different first page". Then select the footer (edit footer). Place your cursor in the footer and insert a textbox. Drag the textbox into the position you want it. Yes, outside the footer area. Rotate the text by 90° clockwise if needed and remove any unwanted borders, etc. Voilà. Your footer text now appears on the right edge of each page as you can see here:Hope this helps.
How can I place my chapter headings in Word 2016 vertically around the middle of the page?
My method for getting content at the start of a new chapter to automatically be pushed further down on the page is to define a “First page header”.In Word 2016, you can click the “Different First Page” checkbox in the Header and Footer Tools (in older versions, use the Page Setup dialog):You don’t need to put anything in the header; just use Format > Paragraph to add space after to force the content to start lower on the first page of the section:If all of your chapters start with a new section (per how Word was designed), this First Page Header will be inherited by default for all subsequent sections.

Vertical Header/Footer in Word 2013?
Headers and footers are by definition at the top or bottom of a page. They can not be at the left or right. I think what has been done is to make the page a 2 cell table where the text is on the left and you have a narrow cell on the right that has had the text rotated to be vertical instead of horizontal. You can also do this by inserting a text box on the right and rotating the text. To rotate the text, right click in the cell and select Text Direction. You can resize the table by dragging the bottom of the cell to the bottom of the page.
How do I add space to the header of a word document?
If the "Abstract" line is part of a page header, open the Header and add space after it using Format Paragraph (right click in it; choose Paragraph; increase value for Spacing After). A better method would be to alter the Header style definition to add the space: on the Home ribbon's Styles area, use the small arrow to access the Styles dialog. FInd Header and right-click to choose Modify, then use Format Paragraph to add the space. This will ensure that all headers in your document have the same amount of space after them.You could also use Page Setup (double click in the vertical ruler area) and increase the top margin area or decrease the Header "From edge" value (Layout tab).If the "Abstract" line is not in a page header, you can still use Format Paragraph to add space after it: if it is set with a style, just modify the style definition; otherwise, you'd need to go through manually to do it.The best way to manage this sort of thing is always to use styles.
Why doesn't Microsoft Word 2016 allow users to set a default page number?
It depends on what you mean by “set a default page number”. In Word 2016 (and earlier) you can easily set a page number, right here:If you open the Page Number you get to choose left, center or right and all sorts of squiggly formats of you want.If you have a very specific placement and format in mind, like, say, you write lots of academic papers and always have the exact same page number placement and want that to always appear without you having to set it - well, that’s not a workaround, that’s what creating and using a Word template is actually designed for. That’s what they do.Templates do that and tons of other things as well, naturally, but having a pre-placed page number is one of the simplest uses or a template.If you want every document you open to already have the page number pre-inserted, you can open the file “normal.dotx” and add the page number there (although I’d recommend making a copy of it first so you can easily revert back to standard Word if you want to later). Save normal.dotx and now every blank document you open will already have a page number inserted as you specified.Magic! (well, almost)
How can I write only on the left side in MS WORD if my page has 2 sides?
If you want to allow text to flow from page to page, but only on the left side, use Page Setup to set Multiple pages to Mirror margins, then set a large outside margin. In my example below, the pages are set landscape with a 5.5" margin on outside pages. (Note that if you set the margin before choosing Mirror margins, this setting will be the Right margin.)The screen grab below shows the result with the relevant dialog (Windows Word 2010). When printed duplex, the text will flow on the left side only.
How should I insert page number on top right for new chapter and below center for other pages in Ms Word?
Use the Page Setup dialog’s Layout tab to specify “Different first page” for the Headers and footers. You can then define a first page header to include the page number field code in the upper right. For all other pages, just define your footer with the page number centered. (You can use the Page Number dialog in the Header & Footer ribbon, but you’ll have more control and can add other elements if you insert it within a header or footer. Use Insert > Quick Parts > Field… and choose Page.)This will only work if each chapter is in its own section. Set it up at the beginning of your document, then use Page Layout > Breaks and choose a suitable page break. If you are printing on one side only, Next Page will be fine — but if you are printing on 2 sides, you may want to insert the Odd Page break to ensure that your new chapter starts on an odd numbered page only (i.e. it will be “recto”, or on the right side when the thesis is opened). Word will automatically insert a blank left page if the previous chapter ends on an odd page.If you have already created your thesis with page breaks between chapters, set up the page headers and footers for the first chapter, then change each manual page break to an appropriate section break.
