So the old 'same as previous has been changed to 'link to previous'
I've already got that on my toolbar, so I don't need to look for the other one.


Just one thing: There is no customize option for the commands on the header/footer toolbar; you should know that.

I suppose that, if that was true, I might know it. However, it isn't true! Once you've activated the Header & Footer toolbar, you'll see a little down arrow at the right-hand end. Click on that and you get the Add/Remove buttons option.

You seem to be very quick to find fault - first it was because you hadn't checked what the various Header & Footer toolbar buttons are for; then it was "the guy at the shop monkeyed with my MS word 2003: he put in some garbage version without notifying me" - which you've given no evidence of; and now it's that you think I should know something that actually isn't true. I think the fault, if one is to be found, is on your side of the keyboard.

Hi, I followed this discussion with interest but have not yet managed to restore the Same as Previous button to my Header and Footer toolbar. Can you help please.

First, in order to have same as previous, there must be a previous section.

See Header and Footers Settings Recap - Word 97-2003

Hi, I found the solution in the end. It was a matter of adding the button to the Header/Footer taskbar. While poking around, a checklist opened and I saw that the Link to Previous was unchecked. So I checked it and having inserted a continuous section break right at the top of my document, I was able to turn off the link to previous in the right place. Thank you for your help. Maren
