It seems to me that the topic has moved a little bit from "can this be done in SMath Viewer?" to "why should you do this in SMath Viewer, in that way?", or even more deeply "why SMath Viewer?".
But since you don't have the Viewer (it is not available in SS6179 which you are using, and you write that you don't know what the Viewer is), I'm afraid we could go on for hours without understanding each others on a common ground (or maybe, is that due to my "Zooloo University" degree?).
Just to elaborate something about all that "Why(s)?"..
There are precise Quality reasons/requirements that suggest to distribute to colleagues safe and "closed" (meaning validated) calculation tools, and the .exe format offered by Viewer is an excellent tool that meets perfectly these requirements. There are other ways, for sure. Viewer is one, and works great.
Infact, it can generate an Engineering deliverable according to company design criteria, without distributing the source file of the SMath project.
Yeah, useless if you are working on your own, in your house garage or in a five people office: in that case you can keep an eye on every line of your .sm file code; but it can make the difference in a hundred people company, where you want the documents/calculation done alwyas according to "company standards", without people messing around the SMath Studio project code (meaning the .sm file).
Going further, documents need to be identified with additional data (again, that's basic Quality requirements, cannot be waived): since yesterday I used to add the required placeholders directly in the document body, so they get displayed as a simple input in SMath Viewer, works great in any case..).
But today, well, the new document Header seems even a better place, if only it could be modified in Viewer too.
For sure, the above statements could be agreed or not.
I'm a Designer, and if a look at all this Quality stuff from a Designer point of view, I would like not to bother that much with Quality Procedures, because as you say "in Engineering gadgets aren't needed".
But I'm not working on my own, I need to prepare Engineering tools for other people too, and that's exactly where Quality Procedures are heavily involved: annoying, for sure, but needed and, must admit, useful too.
So, let's try to start again from the assumption that using SMath Viewer
could be useful for some users out there, and going back to the beginning...
In SMath Viewer user interface, newly available (SS6884) custom Header and Footer data cannot be modified, up to now.
Hopefully, they will be accessible in the future from Viewer itself.
