The panes don't seem to update automatically as you move between
sections, which make them rather useless. Anyway, here's code to
display them:
To display the current header in a pane, use the following syntax:
Sub DisplayCurrentHeader
ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneCurrentPageHeader
End Sub
And to display the current footer:
Sub DisplayCurrentFooter
ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneCurrentPageFooter
End Sub
For help on using macros, see

For more on the SplitSpecial property, see Word VBA Help.

Um, okay, I do see it now. Possibly you could invoke it with VBA,
but I
don't know any way beyond that. Why do you want to?

If you try the following yourself you may understand the question
better.
Create a new document and place the word Test in the footer of the
page.
Close the header/footer toolbar and click CTRL F or toolbar find
and
search
on the word "test"
A new window pane opens below the document.
Now I will ask the question again. Can you make this pane appear
without
doing a Find?
Thanks
Craig

I recently did a search (ctrl F) to find a word in a document
and a new
panel appeared at the bottom of the screen showing the Footer.
(of
course
the word I was searching for was in the footer section)
I have never seen this panel before. How can you get it to
appear
without
doing a Find
