Sounds like your "white space" has disappeared.

Tools Options, on the General tab under Print and Web Layout options check
"White space betweem pages".

My header and footer area have vanished. I changed the document to print
view, and nothing shows up in the header or footer area. When I click view
+ header and footer, nothing happens. In page setup, my margins are set
for 1" and the header and footer is set for 0.5" from edge. How can I
restore the header and footer area? Thanks

I am running Word 2002 on Windows XP.
