I can't see headers or footers on Word 2007 unless in full screen view

Question

I have a machine on a domain that does not show any headers or footers when viewing documents in word 2007, unless I switch to full screen mode.

Other computers can see the headers and footers no problems.

here is a video of what is happening: http://showmewhatswrong.com/play/c6fIjBVWT (expires in 6 days - but to summarize, it just shows me flicking between all the view options in word, and only when in full screen view can you see the headers and footers)

any help greatly appreciated!

• Office 2007

Answer 1

Ok I finally found the solution!

• Click the office button (top left corner)
• Click Word options
• Click Advanced
• Make sure the box for 'show drawings and text boxes on screen' is ticked

Answer 2

I tried both of the above and found the initial answer didn't work and I already had 'show drawings and text boxes on screen' ticked. I found this to Work: Click on the office button; Click on Word options; Click on Display; Make sure "show white spaces between pages in Print Layout View" is ticked.

Answer 3

I found the solution on another site:

Sounds like you've accidentally turned off the Interpage display, which also turns off the headers and footers and the top and bottom margins, but first, let's make sure you’re in Print Layout view.

In Word versions prior to Word 2007:

1. Click the View->Print Layout menu item.

In Word 2007:

1. Click on the View tab on the Ribbon.
2. Click the Print Layout button all the way on the left.

Now here’s how to fix the Interpage display itself.

1. Find the solid black line between the pages or at the top of the first page.
2. Click it with the cursor. (Double-click in Word 2007.)

That should bring things back the way you want them.
