Normal view does not show Header/Footer areas
Issue: When I create a new document and when in normal, or print, or web
view, the page area displayed is only the content area, excluding my header, footer, and margin areas. I know that headers and footers must be viewed to enter text. That is not the issue. The very top of my page is actually the bottom of my header, and the insertion point is placed a pixel location 0,0. With or without text in the header, the header area is simply not shown. The same for the footer. If I 'view' headers and footers, make no changes, and close the view, the header & footer areas are now displayed and my insertion point is located 1" below the top border and 1" from the left border as it should be based on the page setup. This is not a page setup issue. I can increase margins all the way around to whatever I want. Still, the area displayed in normal or print view is only the body area excluding margins. I have deleted normal.dot completely with no difference. I have uninstalled MS Office completely and re-installed with no difference. Any suggestions? |

See he
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm Except Word's Normal View *never* shows headers/footers. Perhaps you meant the Print Layout/Page Layout view which looks like a normal piece of paper?
