Deleted or Missing Header Footer
Anyone know what would cause a header/footer to go missing? I had a user
with a document that would not display the header/footer. We managed to solve this by copy/pasting most of his data into a new document, but if you copied the entire document into the new document, the new document no longer had a header/footer. Very strange. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this and if you have any suggestions about what caused it. Thanks, Jennifer |

Do the headers/footers print or show up in print preview (not print view)?
Headers and footers are contained in the section break; in most documents this is the last paragraph mark. If that isn't copied, the headers/footers won't be copied either. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

If you're just not seeing the header/footer, first have a look at
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/WhiteSpace.htm. If that's not the issue, but rather you can go to View | Header and Footer and not get a header/footer pane, then the document is most likely corrupt; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Suzanne S.
