Word 2003: Headers/Footers - "Missing" Toolbox
Until recently the header/footer toolbox appeared when working within
headers/footers, however, the toolbox no longer appears. What do I need to do to see this appear each time I want to work in headers/footers? At the moment if I want to insert a header/footer the screen gives me the dotted lines of these at the top and bottom of the page but no toolbox to be able to work within them. Merely clicking the mouse as suggested by an earlier responder is unhelpful and not an answer to the problem! |

Word 2003: Headers/Footers - "Missing" Toolbox
Assuming this is Word 2003 or earlier, and that the "toolbox" you refer to
is the Header and Footer toolbar, open the header pane and then try this: - Press Alt+F8 to open the macro editor. (Don't worry, you won't be using any macros.) - Press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate window in the lower right part of the editor. - Paste this line into the Immediate window and press Enter at the end of it: Commandbars("Header and Footer").Visible = True If that works, you can close the macro editor, and you should be OK from then on. If you still don't see the toolbar, paste each of these two lines into the Immediate window, pressing Enter at the end of each line: Commandbars("Header and Footer").Left = 300 Commandbars("Header and Footer").Top= 300 If the toolbar's Visible property was True but the toolbar was positioned off-screen, those two lines will put it where you can see it. From there, you can drag it to wherever you want it. These commands won't work in Word 2007 because there are no toolbars other than the Quick Access Toolbar. Instead, there's a ribbon tab that appears when the header or footer pane is opened. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Well, my "oops" was saying Alt+F8 instead of Alt+F11 to open the macro
