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.
