How do I remove header and footer workspace from Word 2007?

It appears that once headers and footers are added to a Word document, the text can be removed but not the workspace, robbing space for actual document text. My question is: How do I remove the workspace itself? I have found a workaround and that is to reduce the header and footer margins to zero. There has to be a way to remove the workspace as if the header and/or footer was never inserted in the first place. Thanks! Harvey

    Been there done that.

    The problem is not with the removal of the TEXT in either the header or the footer but the removal of the WORKSPACE "stolen" from the page and reallocated for the header/footer.

    What I am finding is that, once a header or footer has been inserted, the TEXT can be edited or removed but NOT the SPACE allocated to headers/footers.

    The only workaround that I have discovered is to reduce the margins of the headers/footers to zero, however the WORKSPACE remains, with no removal option, at least that I have found.

    Thanks!

Unwanted headers/footers

I've never had this problem, but if you hit "Alt-F#," you'll get "Reveal Codes" at the bottom of your screen. Then go to the first page of the document where the problem begins, locate the code for the footers and headers you don't want, and then delete those codes.

Another, probably simpler approach is to click "Insert" and on the drop down menu, click "Header/Footer." Then unselect whatever is dotted. That should get rid of the headers and footers. JS
