Header and Footer don't show in custom page size

[dugarner]

Hi all,
I have googled all over the place for a solution to my problem.

I have a document (a book) that I have been using for close to 10 years
I have created and successfully printed over 15 books with thi
document. I use Office XP with Word 2002, running on a PC with Window
7.

I have a 6X9 document, margins 1" all the way around. Headers an
footers are set to print .5" from the top and bottom of the page.

When I open my document in print layout, the headers and footers ar
there. When I click print preview, they are no longer visible on m
screen. I have all the white space showing; the headers/footers are no
hidden text, and I have it set to show drawing objects.

If I change the page layout to 8 1/2 X 11 or some other default size
the headers and footers are then visible in print preview.

Any clues

First: What prints out?

What prints?

What is the nonprinting area for the selected printer? You can find out
by setting all margins to zero (in the Page Setup dialog box); Word
offers to "fix" the margins, and then you'll see the minimum requirements.
