Chances are the object you are trying to change is floating, and you have sent it 'behind the text'. That can make it a bit difficult to get hold of. You will have to use lots of ingenuity. If you can manage to delete whatever is 'in front' of it, then you will be able to select it.

Alternatively, the item concerned is not in the header at all, it just looks as if it is. Try switching to Draft view. If you can still see it in Draft view, it's not actually in either the header or the footer, it's in the text. Turn your Show/Hide button on, so you can see the non-printing characters. That will enable you to see what you are doing better.

Create headings using Word's styles labeled “Heading 1,” “Heading 2,” etc. On a Mac, change that to “All Styles” using the “List” menu at the bottom of the. By Dan Gookin. Word 2016’s heading styles are numbered Heading 1, Heading 2, on down to Heading 9. You use them to identify different parts of a document, but they also take advantage of other Word features.

Mailto: CyberTaz 24/9/2008, 3:59 น. What you describe is not the same problem - the OP in this thread was dealing with content in a Header which previously had been created.

What you describe sounds perfectly normal - you can't just type wherever you wish. That isn't what Headers & Footers are for and would interfere with readability of the document content. Text in the Header/Footer layer can be in only 3 places: the Header text box, the Footer text box, or some other text box you have to create. Just focusing on the default Header/Footer text boxes - they're similar to any other text box but one difference is that you can't stretch or reposition them. One feature they share with other text boxes, however, is that their default alignment is Let-to-Right, Top-to-Bottom just like the rest of the document. And just like the rest of the document the formatting of the Headers/Footers can be changed.

If you explain exactly what you're trying to achieve perhaps there are some suggestions to be offered.

Hi Olivier: OK, let me ask you some questions so I get a clearer idea of what you are doing: 1) Do you have your paragraph marks switched on?
