Seeing if header/footer is open before running a macro

S

SWT

Is there a way in VBA (Word 2003) to find if the user has the header/footer
view open?

If there is, would there then be a way to close it?

Thanks

Remember the first attempt should always be to record a macro and see what
code it generates. In this case, the key is
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView. See the WdSeekView values. There’s
several views and you might need several Ifs or combinations to get it as you
need it.

Again, yes, ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument such
as:

If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView <> wdSeekMainDocument then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument
