❑Proposal Paragraphs are generally used as Headers and/or Footers.
•Headers and Footers are generic Word Processing terms referring to predefined text elements containing sales related copy, legal, or other explanatory language - sometimes referred to as boiler plate - with the intention to include this information on each copy of a specific type of document.
•A Header - in this case - is predefined information (Text) that will be printed as the first page of a Proposal.
•A Footer - in this case - is predefined information (Text) that will be included at the bottom on the last page of a Proposal.
•Sometimes, depending on the Text and its purpose, these Headers and Footers could be used for Both purposes.
❑Using Headers and Footers in MKMS Proposals:
•When creating a Proposal, a Header and/or Footer may be added to that Proposal.
•A noted above, Headers and Footers within MKMS Proposals are slightly different than what are generally used in standard Word Processing documents.
