Header and Footer
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. |

Header and Footer
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. "Suzanne S.

Header and Footer
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.

Header and Footer
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.

Header and Footer
You've got three unrelated issues he
1. The display of pilcrows is toggled by the Show/Hide ¶ button on the Standard toolbar; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. 2. The display of { PAGE } as opposed to the page number is toggled by Alt+F9 (or checking the box for "Field codes" on the View tab of Tools | Options). 3. The box around the page number is a frame; it is anchored to the header or footer paragraph. You don't get a frame around a page number unless you use Insert | Page Numbers, which isn't recommended, for a variety of reasons (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...yIndented.htm). When you select the page number, you see the hashed border of the frame. A better way to insert a page number is to use View | Header and Footer and then use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar. This puts the number in the actual header/footer as opposed to in a frame anchored to it. You can position it using the built-in tab stops or (if there's no other text in the header/footer) with paragraph alignment (right, left, or center). Even in Print Layout view, you will not see any header or footer until one is created. The View | Header and Footer command is somewhat misleading, as it also means Create Header or Footer if you don't already have one. When you select this command (FWIW, it is not necessary to DOUBLE-click on any menu command; a single click suffices), the header pane will open, surrounded by a broken-line box, and the Header and Footer toolbar will be displayed. Once the header or footer has been created, you can double-click on it in Print Layout view to edit it. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.

Header and Footer
Hi Charles,
I have isolated that my word document is corrupt in at least one paragraph mark (pilcrow). When I show paragraph marks in the document, there is one at the very top and bottom left of each page, which is dim. Page numbers also are listed at the bottom of each page. Moreover, if I click on the pilcrow at the top or bottom of a page, the header and footer toolbar will pop up along with the boxes. Yet when I hide the pilcrow, the header and footer toolbar and boxes will not activate. Any suggestions on how to fix a corrupt document? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Header and Footer
Hi Charles,
I copied very carefully (made sure not to copy the last paragraph mark at the document's end) information from the corrupt document into a new document, harmonized the styles throughout, and saved it. However, I still have the same original problem which is that the header and footer's activation is only visible when the paragraph marks are shown. How the two are tied together is a mystery and seems irreconcilable. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Header and Footer
Charles,
As an addendum to the message sent today, I have discovered that the new document created from the corrupt one will activate the header and footer toolbar in the first section, but not the second one. It appears that the corruption carried over from section two in the corrupt document into the new one as well. Any insights on how to proceed with the de-corruption? Thanks!

Header and Footer
Suzanne,
The PROBLEM has been solved. Before reading your reply to my post today, I copied w/o section breaks and the final paragraph mark and pasted into a new document again. However, this time I created a header and footer with page numbers BEFORE pasting to the target new document. Afterward, a second section break was inserted and page numbers were formatted to fit it (section break 2). If memory serves me correctly, you mentioned in an earlier reply that one has to create a header and footer in order to be able to activate it. I failed to heed your advice and was trying to create the header and footer ex post copying from a corrupt source document and pasting to a new target document. I have learned so much about styles and formatting and headers and footers since "peeking" into the community. Learning is a lifelong process is one is open to it. I have been using word for a few years and never understood the difference between style formatting versus direct formatting, not to mentioned the simple task of creating a header and footer BEFORE composing a new document that includes section breaks. That has all changed. Thank you, thank you, thank you and Charles for all the assistance with this seemingly insurmountable issue. Keep up the good work! "Suzanne S.

have been the trick, it's also possible that just adding some content did it. I do know that if you use Insert | File to insert a document into a completely blank document, it will take on the formatting of the inserted file, in effect including the final paragraph mark (which I consider perverse). If you press Enter a couple of times before inserting the file, then it doesn't bring its section formatting with it. Adding a header may have accomplished the same thing. -- Suzanne S.

"MoPete99" wrote in message ... Suzanne, The PROBLEM has been solved. Before reading your reply to my post today, I copied w/o section breaks and the final paragraph mark and pasted into a new document again. However, this time I created a header and footer with page numbers BEFORE pasting to the target new document. Afterward, a second section break was inserted and page numbers were formatted to fit it (section break 2). If memory serves me correctly, you mentioned in an earlier reply that one has to create a header and footer in order to be able to activate it. I failed to heed your advice and was trying to create the header and footer ex post copying from a corrupt source document and pasting to a new target document. I have learned so much about styles and formatting and headers and footers since "peeking" into the community. Learning is a lifelong process is one is open to it. I have been using word for a few years and never understood the difference between style formatting versus direct formatting, not to mentioned the simple task of creating a header and footer BEFORE composing a new document that includes section breaks. That has all changed. Thank you, thank you, thank you and Charles for all the assistance with this seemingly insurmountable issue. Keep up the good work! "Suzanne S.

Hi Charles, I have isolated that my word document is corrupt in at least one paragraph mark (pilcrow). When I show paragraph marks in the document, there is one at the very top and bottom left of each page, which is dim. Page numbers also are listed at the bottom of each page. Moreover, if I click on the pilcrow at the top or bottom of a page, the header and footer toolbar will pop up along with the boxes. Yet when I hide the pilcrow, the header and footer toolbar and boxes will not activate. Any suggestions on how to fix a corrupt document? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
