MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / August 2004headers/footers missing
I am running Office 2000 Word on a new Dell with XP Home. I want to add a header and page number to a document. At first it worked but now, a week later, when I open a new document and click on view/header-footer it does not appear. Previously saved documents still work when I click on view/header-footer. I tried "detect and repair" and even uninstalled and reinstalled Office to no avail. Please help. Are there univerasl settings on XP home that may have been changed to make these features inoperable Hi Carol, Search all your drives for the file Normal.dot (note: you may need to activate searching "hidden folder and files"). Now rename that to Normal.OLD, then start up Word and see if you can now access headers and footers? > I am running Office 2000 Word on a new Dell with XP Home. > I want to add a header and page number to a document.

If this solves the problem, then you know that the cause is Normal.dot (probably) or the Registry or an add-in and can take steps accordingly.  SignatureSuzanne S.
