I have a document where the footer has disappeared.
I don't mean that the content has disappeared; if you do View | Header and Footer and then click the button to go to the footer, it doesn't display anything and the insertion point is still in the header.
If I add additional footers (e.g. by going into page layout and setting a different footer for the first page) then the first page footer appears, but not the one for the other pages (the "Primary Footer").
It's only happening with the one document? If you go into Print Layout or Full Screen Reading modes, does the footer show as expected? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2011-09-07T17:17:19.193
Yeah. But I have a fix - see the self-answer - I just wanted to get it written down, because I've seen it occasionally before and I can never google the answer. I should be able to now! – Richard Gadsden – 2011-09-07T17:18:22.030
