Default Word 2007 Header and Footer Style

Bob,

Yes that does appear to be the situation.

Still even with Header sytle applied to text in the header and "now" showing
in the style pane if I right click the Header style the "Select All" and
"Remove All" features are dimmed and annotated not currently used.

Is this all by design or an oversight?

Hi Greg,

If I understand your question correctly then what I'm experiencing is
that in the Styles Pane and 'Apply Styles' pane in Word 2007 if you
choose the option for 'Styles in use' it appears that styles used in
the Header and Footer are ignored in the Styles pane, but if you
choose 'In Current Document' these do appear (along with all tyles in
the current QuickStyle set'.

For example, apply a common text style from the QuickStyles gallery
not in use elsewhere in the document to text in the Header and while
you're in the header the Styles pane will still not show it as a
'Style in use'.

In Word 2003 'Formatting in use' in the Styles and Formatting
taskpane also 'missed' the header and footer styles, but choosing to
show 'Available formatting' showed them.

I can open a new blank document and type text in the header and the
footer.

The Style Name field that I have on my QAT displays "Header" or
"Footer"
style consistent with the cursor location. That seems normal.

However, "Header" and "Footer" do not appear in the style name
dropdown or
in the Style Pane. If I click in one of the styles, the name will
appear in
the Style Inspector. Just for s&g's I used the Manage Style dialog
and set
the recommendation for both Header and Footer to 1. Still neither
show in
the Style Pane.

Using Manage StylesEditModify, I can set either Header or Footer to
show
in the Quick Styles Gallery. I can use the Gallery icon to modify the
Header
or Footer style but it still doesn't show in the Style Pane.

Although I positively have Header and Footer text in the document, if
I
right click the QuickStyle button for either Header or Footer the
"Select
All" feature indicates "Not currently used' and is dimmed.

Does anyone else experience this behavior? Is it intentional?

Thanks.
