Erin, this was a fantastic tutorial, so well explained and it works perfectly. Do you have any tutorial on how to create section breaks and different headers/footers per section?
Thank you for this 🥰

Thank you Erin! Do you have any tips how to make the background image cover the whole page in the Word online app? When opening a document in Word online, the header and footer appears white.
