Dear Jenni,
It might be that your Header and Footer Toolbar has been accidentally
'docked' on one of the four sides of the window. It might also be that
your monitor isn't displaying that side of the window.
Try this: reduce the window size so you can see all four sides. Select
View Header and Footer, then look for your toolbar. If it's docked,
click on the dividing line between two buttons and drag it back to the
middle.
Cheers, Dave Chisma
