WD97: Next Page Button Closes Header or Footer View (155778)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q155778 SYMPTOMS
If you click the Next Page button (located in the lower-right corner of the
Word window) when you are in either the header or the footer, the header or
footer layer closes, and you return to the document layer. This
functionality is different from earlier versions of Word, where clicking
the Next Page button would display the header or footer of the next page.
If you click the Previous Page button while you are in the header or
footer, the system beeps. This functionality is also different from
previous versions of Word, where clicking this button would display the
previous page.
CAUSE
This is a design change to improve usability and prevent confusion about
which header or footer you are editing. In earlier versions of Word, when
you clicked the Next Page or Previous Page buttons, Word displayed the next
or previous page but did not change the header or footer view to correspond
to a new section of the document. As a result, when you viewed a page in
another section and changed the header or footer, you changed the header or
footer of the wrong section.
WORKAROUND
To work with headers and footers in a different section of the document,
click the Show Next or Show Previous buttons on the Header And Footer
toolbar. To view the header or footer on a different page, view the
document in Page Layout or Print Preview.
