Header and Footer always hidden in MS Word 2003

[Piper John]

Whenever I open MS Word and a new document, the header/footer is always
hidden from view.

I have modified the normal.dot so that the opening view is always "Print
layout" and have data in both the header and footer, so that a new/blank
document will always contain header and footer text.

When I open a new document, this is always hidden from view. When I select
the "View" menu option, it shows to be in "Print mode" (as I wanted it to),
however I have to select the "Header and Footer" option to reveal this in the
document.

No matter what I try to do, I have to repeat this everytime I open a new
word document - SO frustrating.....

I want the header and footer to always be visible when opening a new document.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong or what I need to do to correct ?

Hi John,

When scrolling the document as you pass the 'gap' between two pages if the cursor changes, double click there to have the
header/footer reappear or use the 'White space...' setting in Tools=>Options=>View
