can't see header and footer toolbar word 2003

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

The header and footer toolbar is missing in action. I tried:

1. visual basic commands -- visible=true, etc.
2. looking for corruptions -- no even in a blank normal document the toolbar
is missing.
3. tools customize menu. The header and footer check box is checked but it
will not uncheck. I haven't seen that behavior addressed anywhere.

Please help; I need that toolbar!

What happens if you start Word in safe mode or using the /a switch (start -
run - winword.exe /a; or for safe mode, hold down Ctrl as Word is starting)?

You were probably pretty close with the VBA method. Try this instead:

Sub ResetToolbar()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
With CommandBars("Header And Footer")
.Reset
.Enabled = True
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub
