Header/footer toolbar unavailable

[dickshaw]

Header/footer dotted boxes appear, no problem, but special toolbar for
header/footers doesn't show up. I need this toolbar to sequence page numbers
and change styles.

I've had this happen to me too. I'm not sure why it disappeared but
this macro should get it back for you.

Copy/paste the following macro and in Word press Alt + F11 to open
the VB Editor. If there isn't a module displayed then use
Insert/Module and paste the macro. Place your cursor within the code
and press F5 to run the macro. The Header and Footer toolbar should
return.

Sub ResetToolbar()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
With CommandBars("Header And Footer")
.Enabled = True
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub

Thanks for your help, Beth. Tried what you recommended - no help. Copied
the macro into the module and hit the F5-nothing happened.
