Hello everyone,

Do you know if it's possible to permanently remove the designated areas for the header and footer in Excel? This would allow me to gain space at the top and bottom of my page and integrate regular lines.

Thank you in advance for your answers.
Best regards.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 76.0

      Hello Patrice,

      After checking, this operation does not remove the header and footer; it only adjusts the spaces between the edge of the page and the header and footer.

      I would like to completely remove them to free up space.
      Attached is a screenshot of my request.

      Thank you for your response.
      Best regards.

        Good evening,

        You cannot delete these areas, but you can reduce the top and bottom margins of your sheet.

        Best regards

    I confirm: Header and footer are an integral part of a Word document. They cannot be deleted!

    If you want to save space, you can:
    - Change the font
    - Decrease the font size
    - Reduce line spacing and paragraph spacing
    - Decrease the four margins
    - Remove cell margins in tables
    - Eliminate unnecessary drawings, images, and graphics
    Retirement is nice! Especially in the Antilles...

    Hello,

    With Excel, not only do you need to set the header and footer margins to 0,
    but you also must not have any header or footer (both set to none).

    The space reserved for the header and footer is then fully freed up, giving you access to all the available space between the sheet margins, which you can also reduce to 0 to print "full page" if your printer allows it (that's not always the case).

    Best regards
    Patrice
