I am creating Word templates with Company logos, address etc in the header
and footer which will be used to send via email as attachments.

They will mainly be viewed on screen.

Is there a way to prevent the information in the header and footer from
appearing €œgreyed out€� when the user opens the document and views it on
screen?

No, Word always greys out headers and footers in Print Layout view
(unless you've activated the header/footer area, in which case the
main body of the document is greyed out instead).

Convert to PDF before sending them as attachments. You'll need additional
software, but PDF will at least ensure that what is received is the same as
what you sent. Try Primopdf

Disappointing but thank you for confirming!
