In the documents appearing without a header or footer, please choose the View tab and check that you're in Print Layout view. All other views hide them.

This solution is not working as Print Layout view is checkued, but header and footer are still missing. Next solution restored my headers and footers.

After you switched to Print Layout view, ensure that you display the so-called white space. See http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/WhiteSpace.htm .
