I do not want my header to 'grey' when I am finished editing it. Is there a
way to do this?

Thanks

It only appears greyed out on the computer, not when printed.

I need help with this too... I did it once and it wasn't grey, it was black. Hmmm. I don't need to print this paper out, I just need to email it.

Whichever part you're working on, the body of the text or the heading, is
black, the other is gray. It would be better to print a pdf and mail that
to you recipient; if you're sending the Word file so that they can work on
it, they will be familiar with the gray/black distinction.

Classic internet here from someone whose job title/stature is bigger than the response... "no'.

Just came here to find an answer and no I see other's helpfully responding, not just DISMISSING.

I think if you just switch to 'Viewing" mode from Editing mode, the presentation is pretty close to print quality. There's a dropdown in the right corner of the ribbon which lets you switch modes.
