Haeder & Footer do not appear in print view

[JGreg7]

For no apparent reason, in Word 2003 the startup view and new documents now
appear without the header and footer showing. I first tried the setting
Select Tools > Options > View tab > Check "White space between pages", but it
was already checked.

I have tried removing and adding back in templates, add-ins, with and
without this setting checked all to no effect.

This is very puzzling and a real nuisance that every time I startup or use a
new document I have to view headers/footers then use the mouse to close the
view.

Any ideas how to fix the white space setting?

Keep in mind that, if you have already caused the white space to be
displayed by using View | Header and Footer, then of course the Tools |
Options | View box will be checked. But also see “Description of the ‘White
space between pages’ option in Word†at

Thank you for your response. I see what you mean, toggling the view also
changes to settings in Options. I always thought that the settings in
Options were supposed to be kept regardless of what you did during the
session.

It does not make sense to me why it works that way. When you set a default
view, it seems that it should be just that, a "Default".

Oh well, fixed now, thank you again for your help.

The same is true with the display of fields (Alt+F9 toggles the setting in
the Options dialog as well).
