header/footer tool bar won't appear

[Colleen]

Hi. I am using Word 2003. I have noticed that when I go t
view-header/footer, I land in the header, but the toolbar that allow
me to switch to the footer etc. won't appear. To make it show up,
have to click a couple of times where one right clicks to access th
other toolbars. It's really quite time-consuming and annoying. Is ther
a way to get the header/footer toolbar to behave like it should? Thanks

Hi, Colleen,

I'm not sure if I am understanding you correctly, but to get the
Header/Footer toolbar to show, right click the main toolbar and select
"Customize" and then the "Toolbar" tab. In the list enable "Header and
Footer" and all should be well.

Hope this helps,

Ed

It is probably floating off your screen.

Open a document and go into Header / Footer view. If the toolbar does not
display then press Alt-F11. This brings up the vba editor. At the bottom of
the screen should be a window that says "Immediate Window." If it is not,
press Ctrl-G.

Type the following in the Immediate Window and press Enter:

Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Visible = True

Go back to the Word window. Can you see your toolbar? If not then go back to
the Immediate Window and add the following two statements:

Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Top = 394
Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Left = 152

Note, you can cut and paste the statements from this message into the
Immediate Window but have to paste them one at a time and press Enter at the
end of each statement yourself. You can close the vba Editor. Your toolbar
should be there and should stick around for you next time you open Word's
header/footer view.

Hope this helps.
