Header and footer hidden--how to make visible

I have footnotes in my Pages document, but the header and footer areas of the page are hidden. If I copy all the text out to a new document, the header and footer sections reappear. Is there a way to unhid the header and footer sections in my document?


Here is what the header section looks like in a working document. You can see the whitespace and the area between the pages:

Here is what it looks like in my file where I can't see the header and footer areas. No whitepace, and no space between pages:

Any ideas?

It's been many, many, many years since I had to do a paper with footnotes - way back in the pre-computer days of the 60s - but I don't think footnotes go in a footer. But then I'm not sure that's what you're trying.


The first thing to do is to show the layout & invisibles from the View menu or toolbar button so you can see where the headers & footers are. Then check the document inspector to see if they are set at zero &/or turned off.
