  1. Please, please, please, don’t tell me to go to the Insert Menu and click on Header and Footer. THERE IS NO HEADER/FOOTER OPTION IN MY INSERT MENU.
    Besides, I HAVE a header already in place! I want to change it! It has three boxes, I want two. It has a right aligned text situation. I want the text to be Left aligned. Also, it is too wide, and does not align with the page margins! I want to make it do so. I already have checked the option to flow with the page margins, when I can find that option!~ Keeps disappearing! Let’s just start with that! No instructions that I find, even inside the program match what I”m seeing! And I can’t get anyone to assist me!
