Add header text to a Word document

Use jetformat word header to add header text to a Word document.

By Jetformat

The command appends a header part. Use a copy when changing an existing report with multiple sections, because header relationships affect what appears on each page.

Steps

  1. Start with a local DOCX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat word header report.docx --text Confidential -o report-updated.docx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output DOCX path (required)
--text Header text

Check the result

Run word headers on the output and inspect a PDF preview of pages from each section.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat word header --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the word command reference for the surrounding workflow.
