Mac Forum / Applications / Word / January 2006Footer style not visible
Word 11.2 and Mac OS 10.4.4 I can't see style "Footer" listed under the style name box in the formatting toolbar. All other Styles-in-use are listed (including "Header") It is not listed even when viewing a footer and even though the style has been applied. (although it does appear in the name box itself when some text with that style is selected) Similarly it is not listed in the list of styles in the formatting palette but it is listed in the Format > Style > styles list (styles-in-use) I've just discovered that choosing to list styles-in-use or all-styles makes no difference. The only styles in use are Normal, Footer, Header, Heading 1,2 & 3 and all except Footer show in the toolbar style list (also listed are Default Paragraph Font and Clear Formatting) If I save the document as RTF then load this into TextWrangler I can find data labelled "footer" (as well as the others) I've been fiddling around with this for so long now that I'm suffering from a mental block - can anyone help please?

Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ So, it's not that I have done something to 'lose' it. At least that is reassuring. Why do I need it? Well I wanted it yesterday to apply the 'Footer' style to some text in a footer which was previously in 'Normal' style. It's not a big issue. As 'Header' is there it would seem to be an anomaly (bug?). There is always the Format > Style menu to fall back on. Roger > Replicating that here, MacWord 2004 and OS 10.3.9.

There was a discussion some time ago, and I remember that people reached the conclusion that "List: All Styles" on the Formatting Palette is slightly misleading (i.e. buggy) as it doesn't show you all the styles that can be found in Format>Style (among them the Footer style). Also, as you have seen, this particular style doesn't even show up in the "Available Styles" selection. And it obviously doesn't make sense for it not to be there, as it is a style that, in my opinion, is frequently used, more frequently at least than most styles in the "All Styles" section. And it really should be visible as part of the "Available Styles" if you're using a footer in your document, but it isn't for me, either. So don't worry, you're clearly not the only one seeing this.
