headers are not printing out
Apologies in advance for what will be a simple question for you. I am unable
to get headers or footers to print out. I have followed directions on all of the help menus. The text appears in the header/footer in exactly the fashion I want. It shows up on the preview page, but when I actually print, nothing shows up. I will say that on a couple of occasions when doing the trial and error thing, the text in the header/footer appeared. I really would appreciate any info from anybody. Walk me through it like I'm a twelve year old. (I'm not) |

headers are not printing out
A footer might not print because it's outside the printable area (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...sDontPrint.htm), but the only reasons I can think of for a header not printing are that (a) it's a wrapped graphic, and you don't have "Drawing objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options or (b) it's Hidden text. If the header/footer are displayed in Print Preview (not Print Layout view), then neither is the issue, and there's something wrong with the printer driver. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne-first of all, thanks for the quick response. The 'drawing objects' is
checked on the print tab. All that goes into the header/footer is page numbering. Any suggestions? "nickill" wrote: Apologies in advance for what will be a simple question for you.

How are you inserting the page numbers?

headers are not printing out
With the header toolbar. I've read the info concerning the insert/page number
not being the ideal way to go. I click on view, then h/f, then align the text in the header where I need it to be, then format page with the h/f toolbar (begin with 1), uncheck print first page, and finally insert page number. All appears to be fine until time to print, then...nothing. I appreciate you trying to help in this very perplexing problem. "Suzanne S.

headers are not printing out
I've just noticed a new problem. When I insert page numbers from the h/f
toolbar, I begin with the first page (of several hundred) and all is well, on that page. The remaining headers are not numbered. I tried starting with different pages but the cursor shot back to the header on the first page. This is a first. The problems seem to be deepening. Do I need to uninstall/install the office and printer programs? Would rather not, but if necessary, will. "nickill" wrote: Apologies in advance for what will be a simple question for you.

Unless you've got section breaks, there is only one header (the one that
appears on the first page). Any page number (field) you put there should be appearing on every page. If you like, shoot me a portion of the problem doc, and I'll have a look. -- Suzanne S.

Mr. Kenyon: Yes, the header on the first page is labelled 'first page
header.' Thanks for jumping in. Any and all help is appreciated. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Breaking in in the middle of the thread....

This means it displays on the first page only.
You can copy its contents and paste where it says header on the next page, in which case it will appear on subsequent pages (at least until a section break). -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
