Headers and footers are not displayed except in Print Layout view. If you
are opening in some other view, then that's the explanation. If you're
opening in Print Layout view and still can't see the headers and footers,
then see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/WhiteSpace.htm

I have Word 2003 when I open a doc I cant see headers and footers unless I
choose view/print layout

In Word 2002 it shows headers and footers automatically can I configure
2003
to do this?
