Displays Options

Click File menu –> Options –> Display Options.

    This did not solve the problem. Do you have any other suggestions?

    in Word 2013
    If you have a header/footer that is there but when you want to edit it, it disapears then this probably won’t help you.
    the solution is simple! all you have to do is go to File-Options-advanced
    under “show document content” tik the last option “expand all headings when opening a document”
    now you can edit away and it stays there.
    you’re welcom 🙂

    […] And if you want to display the count in the all pages then add the Word Count field as part of Header or Footer. […]
