How do you keep the header from dimming in Word?

[Guest]

I want to set up a header where the text within the header stays the same
darkness as the text in the rest of the document. Now, when I set up a
header and close the header the header text turns light gray. I would like
it to stay black.

I dont' think that can be done.

The header and footer are always dimmed when you are working in the text
layer; the document body is dimmed when you are in the header/footer layer.

You can't.

Can't be done. It is dimmed because it is outside the current editing area.
Word is built to produce paper documents. In the paper document, it isn't
dimmed. If you need an electronic version, the closest is pdf.

[Hi Ho Silver]

This may not help you totally, but you can alter the Font in the header to
up the ante to Bold, and maybe play with some other Fonts in the header to
get the effect you are seeking...
