I have created several templates with text in the header (and some in the


footer). Usually when I open a new document using any of the templates, the
text in the header/footer can be seen - I open in Page Layout - however, for
no apparent reason when I now open a new page - even with the normal.dot
template, the cursor is at the very top of the page and you cannot see any
header.

I then have to click on iew \ header and footer in order to see the header.

I am sure this is a 'tick box ' fix to do with some options, but I can't
seem to find it

Can anyone help?

I have three problems with my book manuscript:

1) Some footers appear on the page, most don't. How can I make them all appear?

2) Footnotes usually appear on the page, but sometimes they don't. Also, some footnote entries have blank lines between them. Most don't. I would like all of them not to have lines between.

3) I am redoing a ms. previously printed as an e-book for my web site. I now need to completely redo the electronic indices. How do I tell the machine to delete the previous indexing?

I am using Word 2002. I've tried repeatedly to find the answer to these things on my Help menu. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Thank you, worked for me too.
