Header footer toolbar missing
Apologies if you have already read this, as I posted as a reply to a thread which is why I think I have not yet received an answer, so 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? Shirley |

Header footer toolbar missing
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. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "shirl" wrote: Apologies if you have already read this, as I posted as a reply to a thread which is why I think I have not yet received an answer, so posting it again.

Thanks for your reply, sorry not to have got back to you earlier, but I only just remembered to check for replies. I have done what you suggested and it still does not work. Any other ideas? Shirley Quote:

Header footer toolbar missing
If you are totally sure you performed the steps in the procedure I described
in my previous post and the toolbar still does not display, the only other thing I can think of is that the problem may be a corrupt data key (see the end of this post). You could, however, try to install and run the macro below – actually, the result should be the same as if you followed the above mentioned procedure but you could have missed something: Sub ShowHeaderFooterToolbar_IfMissing() 'Go to the header With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View .Type = wdPrintView .SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader End With 'Enable and show "Header and Footer" toolbar With CommandBars("Header and Footer") .Enabled = True .Visible = True End With End Sub For help on installing macros, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm If the toolbar is still missing, see the following article for information about how to restore the data key: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...eySettings.htm Note that the article refers to Word 97 (version 8.0) and Word 2000 (version 9.0) but the information also applies to newer versions. In case of e.g. Word 2003, the version number is 11.0. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "shirl" wrote: Lene Thanks for your reply, sorry not to have got back to you earlier, but I only just remembered to check for replies.
