I'm not sure from your description if I understand the issue you're having.

The Save as Web Page feature in Word 2003 and Word 2007 are basically identical, except that Word 2007 insists on keeping the
default format for web pages as .MHT rather than .HTM, unless you change it at save time.

In Word 2007 save as Web Page is under
 Office Files button=>Save=>Other Formats
or you can add Save as Web Page to your Quick Access toolbar

Web pages do not display the header and footer, you'd have to use the FrameSet capability in Word to have those display in a
browser.

If you open an HTML file in Word you would add a header and footer via the user interface.

If the original HTML file was one created in Word 2003 or Word 2007 and was saved as a web page from Word then when you reopen it in
another copy of Word the content, such as header and footer, that was stored rather than used in a browser should be there in Word
again.

Frames are evil!
With the excpetion of very, very rare circumstances.

This far more of an option than what your looking for, however, there is
a more significant method of utilizing headers and footers (rather than
Frames):

Using the 2007 method of "Save as webpage" in 2007 that Bob advised?
1) after creation of the page
2) exit Word
3) open Note pad
4) select save as from the file menu
5( change name to same name as page, however replacing the MHT extension
with HTML
6) enclose the name and extension in quotes, "mypage.html" and save.
7) open the renamed html page with your browser.
