Header/Footer Toolbox

Until recently the header/footer toolbox appeared when working within
headers/footers, however, the toolbox no longer appears. What do I need to
do to see this appear each time I work in headers/footers?

My psychic advisor can't divine what Office application you're talking
about, or which version of Office you have, so here's a guess: Click the
mouse.

Assuming you're referring to the Header and Footer toolbar in Word 2003 or
earlier (since I don't think any issue with the Header & Footer Tools Design
tab in Word 2007), it *should* be displayed by default when the header or
footer pane is in focus. By default, it is floating, but it is easily docked
(and I actually prefer it so), so make sure that you haven't docked it
somewhere.

If it is truly gone, you can do the following to bring it back:

1. View | Header & Footer.

2. Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

3. Press Ctrl+G to open (or switch to) the Immediate Window.

4. Type:
commandbars("Header and Footer").enabled = true

5. Press Enter.

6. Press Alt+F4 to close the VBE.
