Is there any way to not have the header/footer look washed out/watermarked? I
want it to appear on screen just as it will print.

Not without removing it from the header.

Why can't you just view the header and select the text and right-click on it
and select font and select automatic or whatever other color you want!

I hope this has been helpful to you.

This is by design. Print Preview is the only view that will show you exactly
what will print.

How would that help? The header would still be washed out (as intended) and
it would no longer print the same

Thank you for the responses. There really should be a new option to turn
this feature off. 'Cause if you're using a letterhead and you e-mail the
document to people, they aren't able to see it as it was intended.

If you send a letter to someone who has Word they will be aware of this as
it is normal behaviour, however if you send a Word document as attachment
then there are other issues that will affect how the document appears. If
you want a document to appear as it would be printed at your end, then send
it in PDF format, for which you will need extra software to create the PDFs.
