Page Setup Dialog: Header/Footer

Use the Header/Footer tab of the Page Setup dialog to choose what the headers and footers of a printed comparison show. Clear the Header or Footer check box to leave the header or footer out of both the printout and the print preview. Both are on by default. The preview below each section shows the result.

Layout

The header appears at the top of each printed page, above the content, and the footer at the bottom, below it. Each has three positions: Left, Center and Right.

The header names the compared files, each above its own column: in a two-way comparison, the left and the right file; in a three-way comparison, the first modified file on the left, the reference file in the center and the second modified file on the right.

Click the arrow next to a header box to choose what the header shows. The choice applies to all three positions:

ValueWhat is printed
Resource NameThe name of each file or folder, without its path
Resource PathThe full path of each file or folder (default)

Type any text into a footer box, or click the arrow next to it and choose one of the pre-defined values. The default footer shows the page number on the left and the date and time on the right.

ValueWhat is printed
Date/TimeThe date and time when printing (or print-previewing) started
Page #The number of the current page
Page # of #The number of the current page and the total number of pages

Advanced tags

To combine these values with your own text, choose Insert Advanced Tag from the arrow’s menu and pick a tag. DeltaWalker Classic replaces each tag with its value when printing:

TagValue
<DateTime/>The date and time when printing (or print-previewing) started
<PageNumber/>The number of the current page
<PageCount/>The total number of pages

For example, Page <PageNumber/> of <PageCount/> prints as “Page 3 of 12”.

You can also type the following tags into a footer box:

TagValue
<AncestorFile/>The name of the reference file, which is the left file in a two-way comparison
<AncestorPath/>The full path of the reference file
<FirstFile/>The name of the modified file (first modified in a three-way comparison)
<FirstPath/>The full path of the modified file (first modified in a three-way comparison)
<SecondFile/>The name of the second modified file in a three-way comparison
<SecondPath/>The full path of the second modified file in a three-way comparison
