supposed to do)..when is it advisable to use the Floating hears etc..

Word-Help is not getting me anywhere..
Please help
Any help is great help
Thank you all in advance

Sorry, I have no idea what a "floating" header is - the fact that it is a
true Header precludes its floating. I *have*, however, seen reference to the
Header & Footer Toolbar as "floating" (i.e., "Floating Header and Footer
Toolbar") - perhaps that's what's misleading.

Otherwise, cite a specific article or two & perhaps someone can better
answer if they can see it in context.

As has already been suggested it is the toolbar that 'floats' rather than
the header/footer.
It refers to the toolbar that appears when you click view > header and
footer. This 'floats' inasmuch as it is not parked in the toolbar area at
the top of the Word screen.

You ARE confused. It's not the Header in the document that is floating -
it's the TOOLBAR. In other words the Header/Footer toolbar can be
positioned anywhere you like by dragging it.
