Same happened to me.


I tried to edit normal.dot/normal.dotm and add header, but I couldn't find it anywhere, even in hidden folders.
I also deleted complete MicrosoftOffice 2013 and reinstalled it, but nothing improved.

This is NOT the same thing as the original poster. That person was trying to create a custom template (not the normal template) with headers and footers.

Trust me. You do not want headers or footers in the normal template. At a minimum, you will be unable to use the labels and envelopes functions if you do this.

See the examples on my downloads page of methods of having headers and footers in a template. In particular, look at the Letterhead AddIn(s) - Default New Document and the Easy New Document Template Package.

I think I have fallen victim to your warning about starting template formatting work in a previously used document.

Would you say that I should perform a tactical retreat and recreate my first template from the normaldot template and then copy that template for any variations I will have?

Even so, I am still running into funky things like changing a style used in a table in a header and it also creates another table instead of simply changing the font style.

(I am becoming increasingly fonder of FrameMaker with each day I work with Word.)
