SYMPTOMS

NOTE: This problem occurs regardless of whether the Link To File or Float
Over Text check boxes are selected or cleared.
WORKAROUND

Close on the Header and Footer toolbar.

changes, click Yes.

these steps to insert an image of the document object:
NOTE: This method causes your document object to not be linked. Any changes
made to the original document will not be seen after you complete these
steps.
- Double-click the document object. You should see the header and footer
contained in the document.
- On the View menu, click Zoom.
- Under Zoom To, click Whole Page, and then click OK.
- Press ALT+PRINT SCREEN. This places a snapshot of your screen on the
Windows clipboard.

object.

- Delete the document object, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
- Right-click the picture you just pasted in, and then click Show Picture
Toolbar on the shortcut menu.
- On the Picture toolbar, click Crop. Move the sides of the picture to
show only the wanted part of the picture.
For more information about cropping, click the Office Assistant, type "How
do I crop an image?" (without the quotation marks), click Search, click to
view "Resize or crop a drawing object", and then click to view "Crop or
trim portions of a picture."
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the

STATUS
This behavior is a design change in Word 97: only the body of the document
object is shown.
MORE INFORMATION
In Word 95, when you inserted a Word document object, the headers and
footers were shown as part of the object.
If you have installed Word 97 on the same computer as Word 95, Word 95
will no longer show the headers and footers of a Word document object.
