Thanks for your response. When I open the file it is already in Print
Layout view but the header and footer are not visible. I tried as you said
to hit view-- Header and Footer and then made some other changes and deleted
the changes before saving but when I reopen the file it is still the same
with the header and footer not visible.

Dave, it sounds like you're perhaps used to Print Layout view and you're
stuck in Normal view. (Hitting View--Header and Footer also happens to
force Print Layout view). So go to Print Layout and save the documents in
this view. You may also need to open the templates and save in this view,
tho doing so requires some OTHER change as well...even if you type something
and delete it, then save. Make sense?

I am using word 2003 and have several templates that I use regularly. When
I
open the templates the header and footer are not visible and I have to go
to
the view menu and click show header and footer. I have tried resaving the
templates with the header and footer visible but when I open them on my
computer they are not visible again. This only happens on my
computer...if
someone else opens them on their computer they are visible. Is there a
setting would do this? I have looked throught the options dialog. Please
help
