Default BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H/F's

OK, there are all kinds of workarounds -- including the very sloppy
one
involving the white rectangle -- what if your publication's paper
isn't
necessarily white, or of one color?

Never mind -- my point is, the single-master, two-section method I
used,
where each section's "show H/F's on the first page" checkbox is
UNchecked,
works on the screen, but not the printer. That's not WYSIWYG, and
that's a
*BUG*. Fine, I can work around it, but I also want to report this
*BUG* for
the benefit of others doing more serious work -- that's what a bug
report is
for, and that's why I wrote the subject line as such.

I can't believe it's so hard to report bugs to Microsoft, but I've
reported
this *BUG* twice at the feedback link you gave me, and I can't find
either
report anywhere to give Rob Giordano the link. I have to assume this
*BUG*
exists in 2007 and 2010, but I don't have either one. If you have
them, and
since you've taken the trouble to look at my pub, would you kindly see
if
display matches printout in each, and then would you report this *BUG*
so Rob
can find it?

Yes one could almost get the feeling they don't want to know about bugs!
Which is but one step from:- Our software doesn't have bugs!
