When you print a page from Internet Explorer 7, the page contains a default header and footer with information such as the URL, date, and page numbers. You can suppress or change header and footer information when printing by adding or deleting the appropriate codes in the Page Setup dialog box.

Header and Footer Codes

Internet Explorer uses codes to designate specific header and footer elements that will be printed. To suppress or print particular elements, you need to know the codes. The following table lists the codes and what they represent.

NOTE: These codes are case sensitive. Incorrect capitalization may give you a different header or footer than you want.

Code	Element the code represents
&w	Window title (i.e., page title) NOTE: This is the title displayed at the top of the Internet Explorer frame.
&u	Page address (URL)
&d	Date in short format as specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel EXAMPLE: 10/12/2006
&D	Date in long format as specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel EXAMPLE: Thursday, October 12, 2006
&t	Time in the format as specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel EXAMPLE: 1:15:34 PM
