Header/Footer Color

[Guest]

I want to display/print my header in black rather than grey text. There must be a way to do this, but I have not been able to find it. Please help.
Thanks.

The gray color means that you are NOT in the Header/Footer, but in the
document itself. The document will print out just fine with normal black
text in your Header/Footer (if that is the color you chose). If you enter
the Header/Footer, the color of the Header/Footer text is black and the
color of the rest of the document is gray (and vice versa).

That is because Word is moving the header/footer to background. Word is
designed for printing documents, not for displaying on screen. If you need
an online version of your document that shows your headers/footers at full
strength, you'll need to convert them to .pdf.

It's black when I'm in Header/Footer mode. When I highlight the text and

select 'format,' it says that that font color is black. When I go back to
my main document it turns grey and it prints grey.

Thanks for trying to help!

the document, the header and footer are grey, but that just shows you that
you aren't in view header/footer mode. Because they are seperate from the
main body of the document, Word treats them as a seperate section and you
have to double click on either the header or the footer to be able to edit
them, and then they should turn black while your body text goes grey.There must be a way to do this, but I have not been able to find it. Please
help.
