Case 1: Adding a Korean Header

When writing an HWP document, how do you add the document title and subtitle at the top of the page?

The Korean header is a feature that repeatedly displays the document title, subtitle, etc., at the very top of every page in a Korean document. The header is an essential element for enhancing the completeness of Korean reports.

Case 2: Deleting a Korean Header

Case 3: Modifying a Korean Header

There are cases where you need to modify the header while writing a Korean report.

The approach changes depending on whether you want to modify the entire header or change the header content from the middle of the document. Directly modifying the existing header changes all pages from page 1. To change only from a certain page, you need to newly insert the Korean header from that page.


How to Modify the Entire Korean Header

  1. Right-click on the header area and select 'Edit Header', or double-click the header area to enter edit mode.

  2. Modify the content, alignment, and format as desired.

  3. Press the ESC key to return to the original editing screen.

Case 5: Adding a Korean Footer

If you want to display information at the bottom of the page instead of the top while editing Korean, what should you do?

You can use 'Adding a Korean Footer'.

In Korean editing, the footer displays page numbers or other information at the bottom of the page. Usually, the footer page number is displayed at the bottom when writing Korean reports.


How to Add a Korean Footer

How to Display Total Page Numbers in the Korean Footer

This is a function impossible with the usual page numbering and can prevent page omissions during mass printing while greatly enhancing the completion of Korean report formats.

한글 꼬리말 넣는 방법
  1. Work in the activated footer area at the bottom.

  2. Select 'Boilerplate' from the 'Header/Footer' menu.

Case 6: Dividing Sections in Korean

While writing a document, there may be cases where you need to apply a different header and footer from the middle of the document. In such cases, you can use 'Section Division' to apply headers and footers differently.

Furthermore, in Korean editing, section division is essential when creating documents with mixed horizontal and vertical formats or different page setup settings per page. The '1-1 Section' displayed at the bottom of the Korean file indicates that the entire document is composed of one section, serving as the basis of Korean base page editing.


How to Execute Korean Section Division

  1. Place the cursor at the position where the new section should start.

  2. Click 'Section Division' from the 'Page' menu at the top.

  3. The cursor moves to the next page, creating a new section.

  4. Check the section number change in the status bar at the bottom. (For example: Section 2-2, Section 2-1)

  5. After dividing the section, entering a new header and footer will apply the new format automatically from the subsequent pages, as shown in the image below.


Case 7: Deleting and Managing Korean Sections

There may be instances during Korean editing where you need to delete unnecessary sections or find and navigate to specific sections. Knowing the correct method can help you efficiently manage HWP documents.

How to Delete a Korean Section

  1. Place the cursor in the section you want to delete.

  2. Press the Backspace key followed by Enter.

  3. Check that the number of sections has decreased in the status bar at the bottom. (For example: Section 4 → Section 3-3)


How to Navigate Sections in a Document with Many Pages

  1. Click the section display part at the bottom of the document (e.g., Section 2).

  2. Select the desired section number in the popup window.

  3. Click the 'Go' button to immediately move to the section.


Key Tips to Increase Korean Editing Efficiency
