That's just the way Word works. When you are in the header/footer layer, the
document layer is dimmed, and vice versa. If you want a WYSIWYG view, you
can use Print Preview. If you want to send something WYSIWYG, send a PDF.

The headers/footers additions make a great way to place letterheads onto a
form.
However, upon closing the headers tool the pictures and text pale into a
watermark.
Is there an adjustment to get the full density of pictures and text into
headers?
