Header/Footer Formatting Syntax taken from Office Open XML Part 4 - Markup Language Reference, page 1970:
There are a number of formatting codes that can be written inline with the actual header /
footer text, which affect the formatting in the header or footer.
Example:
This example shows the text "Center Bold Header" on the first line (center section), and the date on the second line (center section).
&CCenter &"-,Bold"Bold&"-,Regular"Header_x000A_&D
General Rules:
There is no required order in which these codes must appear.
The first occurrence of the following codes turns the formatting ON, the second occurrence turns it OFF again:
- strikethrough
- superscript
- subscript
Superscript and subscript cannot both be ON at same time.
Whichever comes first wins and the other is ignored, while the first is ON.
&L -
code for "left section" (there are three header /
footer locations, "left", "center", and "right").
When two or more occurrences of this section marker exist, the contents from all markers are concatenated, in the
order of appearance, and placed into the left section.
