I have seen this problem occur in a situation where a user had a macro
installed that closed toolbars while the selection was in the header/footer
area.
Try the following and see whether it solves the problem:
1. In your document, select View Header and Footer to go to the
header/footer area (it is important that the selection is in the
header/footer in the following).
2. In Word, press Alt+F11 to open the VBE window (Visual Basic Editor). Make
sure the "Immediate" window is visible (most likely found at the bottom of
the VBE window - if the "Immediate" window is not visible, press Ctrl+G to
display it).
3. Copy the following line of code (if you do not have an English version of
Word, you need to correct "Header and Footer" to the exact name of the
toolbar in the relevant language):
CommandBars("Header and Footer").Enabled = True
4. Paste the copied line of code into the "Immediate" window in VBE.
5. Make sure the insertion point is in the code line. Then press Return.
6. Copy the following line of code (again, make sure the toolbar name is
correct):
CommandBars("Header and Footer").Visible = True
7. Paste the copied line of code into the "Immediate" window in VBE.
8. Make sure the insertion point is in the code line. Then press Return.
Hopefully this will bring back your Header and Footer toolbar so that it
works correctly again.

Apologies if you have already read this, as I posted as a reply to a

posting it again.
I have lost my header/footer toolbar. It does not automatically appear
when I am in a header or footer, it is most frustrating.
Whilst in the header/footer pane I can go into View/ Toolbars/
Customize toolbars and see the header/footer listed but I cannot select
the check box to make it display. Have also tried to re-set the
toolbars.
The only way I can get any thing like automatic page numbers, fields
etc into a header or footer is to use Insert Field or Insert Autotext,
it is most frustrating not having the header/footer toolbar.
Any ideas?
