Hi Charles,
In a inconsistent way, if I double-click on the Header and Footer (H&F)
command from the view menu, the H&F toolbar will be visible along with a
small flashing box as if a page number is requested to typed. However, when
I type a page number and close the H&F toolbar, the same number will appear
on each page throughout the document. That's case one.
For case two, when I double-click on the box for the page number (when the
H&F toolbar is visible), the full H&F boxes become visible along with the
pilcrow (paragragh mark) inside and {PAGE}. Moreover, there is an anchor
symbol outside the H&F boxes that seems to be connected to {PAGE} because
when I click on the anchor symbol to delete it, a rectangular box appear
around {PAGE}. Also, the entire document shows the paragraph mark and other
symbols. Thus, IT APPEARS THAT THE H&F BOXES' VISIBILITY IS CONNECTED TO THE
PILCROW (PARAGRAPH MARK) BECAUSE WHEN THE H&F BOXES ARE VISIBLE, I CAN CLICK
ON THE PILCROW AND IT (THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT) ALONG WITH THE H&F BOXES WILL
DISAPPEAR SIMULTANEOUSLY OR APPEAR SIMULTANEOUSLY WHEN THE PILCROW IS ENGAGE.
What a mess! Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

I received comprehensive instructions from a community member in this NG
about using a macro to activate the H&F toolbar. However, when I entered
the
command in the immediate window of vba, a run-time "automation" error
occurred. So I am still stuck. Thanks for you responses.

Suzanne,
My problem is that the Header and Footer on the view menu is not
visible
when I activate it. The only thing that happens is the page where I
want
to
activate the H&F "jumps", but no H&F box or toolbar is visible. I am
baffled
at why Word refuses to activate the H&F command.

Using MS Word 2003, when I activate the header and footer boxes
from
the
view
menu, they are only visible when the plicrow (paragraph symbol) is
engaged.
The symbol also is listed in the header and footer boxes and I
can't
eliminate it. All I'm trying to do is to insert page numbers in the
footer
of
a document after one section break. Any assistance with this issue
is
greatly
appreciated.
