SUMMARY
If a Word document contains multiple sections, the text of a header or footer may not appear at the top or bottom of the page. This situation occurs because headers and footers appear on a particular page based on the first section that occurs on that page.
For example, in a one-page document with three sections, Word uses the header (or footer) associated with the first section only.
MORE INFORMATION
To work around this problem in a multiple-page document, do the following:
- Place the insertion point in the section following the pages that already contain the header/footer.
- From the View menu, choose Header or Footer. (In Word 4.0, from the Document menu, choose Open Header or Open Footer.)
- Choose the Same As Previous button.
- Repeat steps 1-3 for each section.
To correct this problem in a single-page document, do the following:
- Place the insertion point in the section that contains the missing header/footer text.
- In normal view, choose Header or Footer from the View menu. (In Word 4.0, in galley view, choose Open Header or Open Footer from the Document menu.)
- Select the text in the header/footer.
- From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
- Place the insertion point in the first section of the document and open the header/footer by choosing Header or Footer from the View menu. (In Word 4.0, from the Document menu, choose Open Header or Open Footer.)
- From the Edit menu, choose Paste. The header/footer information should now appear in page layout view (page view in Word 4.0) and print preview.
For more information about section formatting, see pages 562-563 of the version 5.0 “Microsoft Word User’s Guide” or page 321 of the version 4.0 “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual.
