*Created originally on Bitbucket by [Kendallsearing (Kendall Searing)](https://bitbucket.org/%7Bcbcb26be-4fba-4834-baaa-a0a1e5eee851%7D/)* The below code creates a footer with a left section font size of 409. ``` #!python #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import openpyxl import os root = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) file = root + "/footer test.xlsx" book = openpyxl.Workbook() sheet = book.active sheet.sheet_view.view = "pageLayout" sheet.oddFooter.left.text = "2017s" sheet.oddFooter.left.size = 8 book.save(file) ``` *Attachments:* [sheet1.xml](/uploads/1de4edd9fb281eb37ef00a56b133768f/sheet1.xml)
