The header and footer are actually document layers. By default,
header/footer text goes at the top or bottom. You cannot change that.
However, you can insert a text box into the header (or footer) layer, and
then size/position it anywhere in the printable area on the document page.

The tricky part, however, is that only one layer at a time is available for
immediate text input (except in Print Preview--and you need to turn off the
magnifier for the mouse pointer to work "normally").

If the space you're creating is for someone to write in the margins with a
pen, then the text box approach should work fine. If it's for writing in in
Word, then the user will need to edit the header in order to be able to type
inside the box.

Dear All, does anybody know if I can change the position of the header to
the
right side of the page and to turn it 90° to have it vertical? I'm
creating a
notepaper and want to put some grafics and textboxes, where others can
enter
text on all pages of the document.
Thanks in advance
