Open new document with headers and footers as before.
My Word 2003 opens a new document with no header/footer spaces and requires
user to "View"/"Headers and footers." Which MS braniac thought this was a good idea. Older versions opened with headers/footers and an option to turn them off. Oddly, the template (Normal.dot) opens with headers/footers. Why doesn't a document that is based on the template? If this is just my machine, then how do I change it? If it is supposed to be part of the MS Word Improvement program, it ain't...change it back! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Open new document with headers and footers as before.
Please do not post your Question (which is what you're asking if
you want an answer) as a "Suggestion for Microsoft". In Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the "White space between pages" box | OK. By the way, the white space setting is enabled by default until changed by the braniac user.

I hate to tell you, but (as Garfield also points out) the default setting is
to show the white space. You probably toggled it off by clicking at the wrong time and place; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm -- Suzanne S.

Open new document with headers and footers as before.
The suggestion was "...change it back!" Further, the white space setting is
checked. I opened a new document at it too shows no headers or footers. So I unchecked it and opened another new document...still no headers or footers. Therefore, I again suggest that the braniac designer restore the Word default to show the headers and footers upon opening a new document and then allow them to be turned off rather than the other way around.

Open new document with headers and footers as before.
Thank you, but as I pointed out in my second post, I tried toggling both ways
and it doesn't appear to matter whether its toggled on or off. When I open the new document, no white space. I checked the normal.dot and white space is checked there. I shut down and cold started. Still get a new document with no header/footer and when I looked at the tools/options, white space still checked. "Suzanne S.

There is no need to "change it back", because Microsoft didn't
change it to begin with. Headers and footers are normally displayed only in Print Layout view (View | Print Layout)... maybe your document is opening in some other view (maybe Normal view)?

Are you in Print Layout view when you get no header or footer? The only
scenario I can imagine in which "White space" is enabled on the View tab of Tools | Options and you see no header or footer is that you are in Normal, Web Layout, or Outline view. -- Suzanne S.
