$I have discovered what appears to be a major bug with the Running-heads

$screen, with no way to get it back; however, the paragrah still
$shows up as a Running-head when I print out the document.  This is a
$big problem, since it's impossible to edit the Running-head (or even
$see what it is).  This bug didn't exist under Word 4.0, and as far as I
$can tell from the manual, there aren't any major changes  between
$4.0 and 5.0 in the way you define Running-heads.  Am I doing something
$wrong, or is this a real bug?  Does Microsoft know about it, and
$do they plan to do anything about it?

This occurs when the Options Show Layout (Alt-F4) is enabled. There should 
also be a "LY" at the bottom of your screen. To view the running head, just
turn the option of (Alt-F4 toggles) and the running head should be visible.
