Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61676
ux-ctest: Header and footer cannot be activated in the View menu of Writer

Word users are are used to activate headers and footers in the view menu. Recommendation: Add Header/Footer option to the View menu. Keyword: ux-ctest
Retargeted to OOo Later
IMHO it's not just a matter of being a Word user or not. Every user not used to work with styles can have a hard time getting a header or footer switched on.
Besides that I think we should keep this in the "Insert" menu and improve the usability of this as described in issue 60426.
My strong negative vote for the suggestion to "insert" headers/footers via the "View" menu. This resembles issue 61679. Anything said there applies to this issue, too.
Not a defect.
