hello hazel Thank you very much for the reply I now know I ain't going crazy. I have used the header and footer in the past and had no problems with it. but I rather think that I have accidentially turned off something. I did look in the toolbars but with no luck, having only the standard one checked. I did find a note saying in word 2000 click the double down arrows to see all the commands to do with this issue but I don't know how to get to this area. Thank you for your help anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hazel Flannigan" <hazel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2006 9:59 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: headers and footers > Hi There, > I find the same problem when trying to find the footer area!
