## Section::ClearHeadersFooters() method


Clears the headers and footers of this section.

```cpp
void Aspose::Words::Section::ClearHeadersFooters()
```

## Remarks


The text of all headers and footers is cleared, but [HeaderFooter](../../headerfooter/) objects themselves are not removed.

This makes headers and footers of this section linked to headers and footers of the previous section.

## Examples



Shows how to clear the contents of all headers and footers in a section. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();

ASSERT_EQ(0, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->get_Count());

auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

builder->MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType::HeaderPrimary);
builder->Writeln(u"This is the primary header.");
builder->MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType::FooterPrimary);
builder->Writeln(u"This is the primary footer.");

ASSERT_EQ(2, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->get_Count());

ASSERT_EQ(u"This is the primary header.", doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderPrimary)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"This is the primary footer.", doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterPrimary)->GetText().Trim());

// Empty all the headers and footers in this section of all their contents.
// The headers and footers themselves will still be present but will have nothing to display.
doc->get_FirstSection()->ClearHeadersFooters();

ASSERT_EQ(2, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->get_Count());

ASSERT_EQ(System::String::Empty, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderPrimary)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(System::String::Empty, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters()->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterPrimary)->GetText().Trim());
```

## Section::ClearHeadersFooters(bool) method


Clears the headers and footers of this section.

```cpp
void Aspose::Words::Section::ClearHeadersFooters(bool preserveWatermarks)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| preserveWatermarks | bool | True if the watermarks shall not be removed. |
## Remarks


The text of all headers and footers is cleared, but [HeaderFooter](../../headerfooter/) objects themselves are not removed.

This makes headers and footers of this section linked to headers and footers of the previous section.

## Examples



Shows how to clear the contents of header and footer with or without a watermark. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>(System::String(get_MyDir() + u"Header and footer types.docx"));

// Add a plain text watermark.
doc->get_Watermark()->SetText(u"Aspose Watermark");

// Make sure the headers and footers have content.
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::HeaderFooterCollection> headersFooters = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters();
ASSERT_EQ(u"First header", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderFirst)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Second header", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderEven)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Third header", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderPrimary)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"First footer", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterFirst)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Second footer", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterEven)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"Third footer", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterPrimary)->GetText().Trim());

// Removes all header and footer content except watermarks.
doc->get_FirstSection()->ClearHeadersFooters(true);

headersFooters = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_HeadersFooters();
ASSERT_EQ(u"", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderFirst)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderEven)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::HeaderPrimary)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterFirst)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterEven)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(u"", headersFooters->idx_get(HeaderFooterType::FooterPrimary)->GetText().Trim());
ASSERT_EQ(WatermarkType::Text, doc->get_Watermark()->get_Type());

// Removes all header and footer content including watermarks.
doc->get_FirstSection()->ClearHeadersFooters(false);
ASSERT_EQ(WatermarkType::None, doc->get_Watermark()->get_Type());
