If inserting a section break causes a blank page to appear in your document and you have Show Page
Guides turned on, Nisus Writer Pro displays an “Empty Page” indicator on the blank page. Any
information you have in your headers and/or footers does not appear.
Editing Headers and Footers
Once you have added headers and/or footers to your document you may want to edit them. Some
people like to work in Draft View or Full Screen view which allows the text to flow across the full
width of the monitor without regard to margins, line wraps and page breaks. Without visible page
breaks, headers and footers (which are, by definition, aspects of pages) do not appear in Draft View
or Full Screen view.
Display headers and footers as they appear in the document
▶
Choose the menu command View > Page View.
Edit headers or footers

Click in the header or footer area and make the changes you want.
