My boss asked me how to insert footer in his document. He is using Word
2003. I know that Header/Footer is under View menu but his is missing. I
checked the word version and confirmed that it is 2003. Where else do I find
Header/Footer?

it someone has customized the toolbars if you don't have any specific
customized style or feature you can delete Normal.dor and word will create a
new Normal.dot next time you open a word document with deafult settings also
you can reinsert the command in the view menu by right clicking on menu bar
then customize in commands tab find Auto text in categories textbox and then
find Filename and path in commands textbox then click on it and drag it to
the view menue

It may not be necessary to go to that length... see

It is not a good plan to recommend that people delete normal.dot and thus
lose carefully derived settings, macros etc. You should always *RENAME* so
that the personalisations may be recovered. However in this instance neither
is necessary as Jay points out.

Thank you everyone for reply. I will try Jay's suggetion. The IT company we
outsource to came in to fix the problem with Outlook signature so I know that
they did something to his normal.dot. It seems like everytime they come in
to fix something, we end up with more problems.

Base on my personal experience for inexperienced users deleting Nomral.dot is
much easer than reinserting the missing command in toolbars. You are right
about customized Normal.dot and thats why I asked him to make sure he
doesnt have any specific customization in his Normal.dot . As we see from
his/her later postings IT might altered more items than just header/footer
so I still think My suggestion is better approach in this particular case.

Given that you managed to get the whole of your original response into one
sentence without any punctuation to make it clear what you were trying to
say, the only thing that came through loud and clear was the suggestion to
delete normal.dot. Deleting normal.dot is, I repeat, bad practice. Renaming
it achieves the same ends without the inherent dangers of information loss.
