Creating a Page Header
Monarch allows you to add a descriptive title to the top of each printed page via the Header Layout settings of the Page Setup dialog.
A page header is divided into three sections, Left, Center, and Right, all of which represent locations in which you may want to add information. You can dynamically add information to the page header, including page numbers, the print date and time, the names of the active filter and sort, as well as the first value of any field in the table. You can also add any text you wish and even specify the font to use in the header.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the Classic.prn report and Lesson1.dmod model open and that you are in Table view.
Steps:
1. Select File > Page Setup 
.
Note that because you have both a report and a table open in the current Monarch session, the Page Setup dialog slightly differs from the dialog we saw in Chapter 6.

2. On the left-hand side of the dialog, select Table from the list of available views.
The Page Setup dialog displays page options available for Table view.

9. Click the arrow on the cell and then select Page Number from the options that display.
10. Double-click on the second row of the column labeled Left.
11. Type Report: followed by a space, and then click the arrow on the cell. Select Input Name from the options that display.
12. Double-click on the third and last row of the column labeled Left.
13. Type Model: followed by a space, and then click the arrow on the cell. Select Model File Name from the options that display.
This is how the Page Header section of your Page Setup dialog should look when you are finished.
