Why is the header/footer sometimes missing?
Hi,
I have Word 2003. I have two documents that I've inserted the same header/footer. On one, I can't see either the header/footer at all. But when I look at print preview, I see the header/footer perfectly (and it prints that way). The header/footer is the same on each page. But on another document, I can see it just fine using the Normal view. Any idea what causes this change? It's driving me crazy. Thanks. |

See he
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/WhiteSpace.htm Please do not confuse the regular view (like what a page looks like) with what Word calls Normal View. That is a technical term hereabouts, and it will lead to confusion. You meant Page Layout View, I assume (because Normal View never shows header/footers).

The header and footer are never visible in Normal view, only in Print Layout
view (and sometimes not then; see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/WhiteSpace.htm). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the reply and link.
Unfortunately, I still have a problem. On the document that's NOT showing either the header/footer, when I go to "Tools, Options" the option that reads, "White space between pages (Print View only)" is actually MUTED so I can't select/deselect it. I assume there's something odd with this document. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Chances are, you are in _normal_ view rather than print view. White space as
well as headers/footers won't show up there! Normal view should probably be called _draft_ or _fast_ view because there's nothing particularly normal about it. It is probably the original (Word 2.0) view. -- 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.
