 == Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 4.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

If any of the options associated with the header or footer commands are changed through the Commands dialog box, Word will no longer update the menus items correctly.

Normally when the Even/Odd Headers option or the First Page Special option is selected through the Section or Document commands on the Format menu, the appropriate header/footer commands are added to the Document menu. However, if any option associated with the header/footer commands is added or deleted through the Commands dialog box, the Document menu will retain the current menu commands for headers and footers. It is not known at this time how to restore the functionality of the changing header/footer commands without deleting the Word Settings (4) file.

To solve this problem, a new Word Settings (4) file needs to be created. This will cause the loss of any customized menus, default styles, or default settings that have been created.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The commands that affect headers and footers are First Page Special, Open Even Header, Open Odd Header, Open Even Footer and Open Odd Footer.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
