Using Office2003, when I send a Word document as an attached file by e-mail
to someone, the recipient does not see the footers / headers. Is this normal
or is there some workaround to this?

This is normal on that person's machine. Word is designed to get documents
out on paper. If they print it, it should show up. If they change their
settings to print view rather than normal view, it will show up. Otherwise,
convert it to a pdf file and send it that way. Unless I want the receiver to
edit my document, I prefer to send as pdf anyway. That way it will look the
same on their machine as on mine.

No. If you are sending the document as an attachment, the H&Fs are an
integral part of the document: sending it as an attachment is no different
that giving it to the other person on a floppy disk or CD.

If using the Word, Send To, Mail Recipient command, then the document will
be send as an HTML email: in which case H&Fs are lost because there are no
pages in HTML, so H&Fs don't exist.

However, if you are sending this as an attachment, my guess is that the
recipient has accidentally clicked on Hide White Space - which hides the
H&Fs and spaces between text for fast scrolling through a document. If the
user hovers the mouse cursor over the gap between pages, a Tooltip will pop
up saying (Show White Space). If the user clicks the space, everything
should come back.
