"View - Header and Footer" setting not retained
I'm using Word 2003. I need to know why the "View - Header and Footer" setting is not retained. Whenever I open Word, the blank default document does not show the header and footer areas, but it used to. How did I lose this? Whenever I open a new document or a saved document, I have to turn on "View - Header and Footer". How did I end up with this emasculated functionality? Thank you. -- userinphilly |

This is an Options setting, saved in the Registry. See

Yo! Try the Print Layout View. That lets you see headers and footers. If
you still don't see your headers and footers you probably got rid of the "White Space." In the Print Layout view hover the cursor at the bottom/top of the next page and a little arrow should appear. This lets you toggle the white space on or off. When the white space is not visible, neither is the stuff in it, like your headers and footers. See if that helps. "userinphilly" wrote in message m...

"View - Header and Footer" setting not retained
Thank you. I went to the MVP page and read the following: "Because it is so easy to do this by accident, many users find this option very annoying." I must admit, I have to agree with that statement. What an annoyance that was! But I'm thankful to understand how to disable that nasty feature and get my precious white space back. Suzanne S.

"View - Header and Footer" setting not retained
Although the feature can be very useful, and making it accessible with a
click is also useful, the Word MVPs made the suggestion that in Word 2007, this require a Ctrl+click. I don't know whether that suggestion has been implemented or not. -- Suzanne S.
