Usage
ShowHeadFoot takes effect when the control is in preview mode or when it is in edit mode for the main text. If the control is in preview mode, calling ShowHeadFoot returns to edit mode. The value of editheadfoot determines whether the main text or the header and footer panels display.
The headerfooter argument is ignored if the editheadfoot argument is false. The headerfooter argument defaults to "true" if a value is not provided. The header and footer can include input fields for page numbers and dates.
