I found this happened sometimes on specific documents that may have had
some type of field inserted at some point. Even so, I was still able
to access if there was already something in the header or footer area
by doubleclicking in that area, at which point the Header/Footer
toolbar would properly appear. Suspect some kind of corruption.

My workaround was to display the Forms toolbar (View Toolbars
Forms), protect the document by click on the padlock icon, and then
unprotecting the document by toggling the padlock icon again. Once I
did that, when I selected View Header/Footer, the Header/Footer
toolbar appeared as usual.

Hi there - I was already working in the H/F 'layer' and it still
didn't work
and the box wasn't checked. No tool bar appears when I click on H/F
and I
can't switch between H/F without scrolling down the page. Any
ideas?

Hi Gill-

The features of the H/F tolbar are useless unless you are active in
the H/F
'layer' of the doc, so this is one of the bars that cannot simply
be turned
on/off at will. When you go to ViewHeader and Footer, the bar will

automatically appear and will disappear when you go back to the
text layer.

If you are in the H/F and go into the Customize dialog box , the
bar will be
listed & checked, but you cannot change the setting.

Good Luck |:)
