I'm not aware of any UI tool that does it. However, when in Draft
view, you can use the NormalViewHeaderArea built-in command to
display the draft view's pane. Oddly enough, there doesn't appear to
be a corresponding command for footers.

In the UI of Word 2003 and earlier, the command is View | Header and
Footer to open and the Close button on the Header and Footer toolbar
to close. In recent versions, this actually throws you temporarily
into Print Layout view rather than show a pane for the header/footer
(like the footnote pane). According to the Word Command Reference,
the corresponding command to open the header in Word 2007 is Insert
| Header & Footer (since people always looked for it on the Insert
menu anyway when they were first creating a header and there was
nothing yet to "view"). --

When I shift from Print View to Draft View in a document the headers
doesn't show. I can make a header pane appear using:

Sub Test()
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Select
End Sub

This opens a pane at the bottom of the view with the header
contents. This pane has an "X" to close it in the top right corner.

Is there a UI command somewhere that will toggle the header pane
open and closed?

Thanks.
