Automatically going to outline view when inserting header in Word
Whenever I try to insert a table or header etc. the view reverts to 'outline'
and when I return it to 'normal' or 'web' the table/header is cancelled. |

Automatically going to outline view when inserting header in Word
Are you sure it's Outline view? Typically, when you use View | Header and
Footer, Word switches to Print Layout view. If you display the Tables and Borders toolbar, it also switches to Print Layout (but the toolbar is retained if you switch back to Normal); this doesn't happen if you use the Insert Table button on the Standard toolbar. -- Suzanne S.

Automatically going to outline view when inserting header in W
You're absolutely right - of course it is Print Layout view.
How do I prevent this from happening - although I take your advice re entering tables - I am finding it impossible to put a header in at all. I don't think this used to happen with my Word - I may have inadvertently changed something. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you sure it's Outline view?

To insert a header, you should use View | Header and Footer. This is
somewhat counterintuitive when you don't yet have a header to "view," and especially in that Word doesn't allow you to double-click in the header space to open the header pane until you do have a header.

Automatically going to outline view when inserting header in W
Thank you. I hadn't explained my problem very clearly - when trying to insert
a header it reverted to print layout view with the whole page appearing very small. I have since realised that I can manipulate the zoom in print layout view so as to actually see what I am typing in the header, so problem solved. "Suzanne S.
