2008 does not show headers that appear in 2004

[phillman5]

Leopard 10.5.6. Word 12.1.5. We have reports that require a
specific header. Its a three column, one row table. Each cell has
several lines. The document was created under Windows, Word 2007,
edited in 2004. The headers work just fine in 2004, but only the
bottom line shows in 2008. In print preview they show up. If you
edit the header in 2008, deleting the bottom line causes next line to
shows up. You can move the curser using the arrows, so the text is
there. Changing the text color doesn't help.

I made up a similar header from scratch in Word 2008 and don't see the
problem.

Any suggestion in making the header show up would help.

There's "something you can't see" blocking off the content.

My first suspicion would be a text box with a fixed size such that the table
is spilling out the bottom of it.

Blow the Word view up to 400% and turn on all of your non-printing
characters and you will probably be able to see it.

Hope this helps
