Header Footer Toolbar is gone, how to restore?

Guest

When the header/footer is opened usually there is a toolbar that opens with
it, but this toolbar has vanished and I have not been able to restore it.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Open a document and go into Header / Footer view. If the toolbar does not
display then press Alt-F11. This brings up the vba editor. At the bottom of
the screen should be a window that says "Immediate Window." If it is not,
press Ctrl-G.

Type the following in the Immediate Window and press Enter:

Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Visible = True

Go back to the Word window. Can you see your toolbar? If not then go back to
the Immediate Window and add the following two statements:

Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Top = 394
Application.CommandBars("Header and Footer").Left = 152

Note, you can cut and paste the statements from this message into the
Immediate Window but have to paste them one at a time and press Enter at the
end of each statement yourself. You can close the vba Editor. Your toolbar
should be there and should stick around for you next time you open Word's
header/footer view.

Hope this helps.
