Default Headers & Footers not visible in Word 2002

When opening an existing Word document in Word 2002 the
headers/footers are not visible & don't even print with
the document. If the same document is opened in Word
2000 or 2003, then it's fine. A new document can be
created & the header/footer will be visible, just not
when opening a previously created document. I haven't
been able to find anything about this searching the
knowledgebase and google. Had an Office expert review
the problem & he saw that the document settings were also
being changed, but couldn't make any sense of it. Anyone
else seen this and have a solution? Thanks!

Are the h/f in text boxes or otherwise drawing objects? If so, make sure
that the print and display options are set appropriately.

If you have certain types of text in your headers/footers (e.g. drawing
objects, text boxes, hidden text, etc), there are settings to show and print
(or not) all these under Tools | Options, check the View and Print tab.
Check there, these settings may be set differently on different computers or
in different programs.
