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 🙂
