You must be in Print Layout mode to create and edit Headers or Footers. To
enter Print View mode, you may select 'Print Layout' from the 'View' menu.
Do you want to change to Print Layout now?
[ Yes ] [[ No, thanks ]]

This way you explain what must be done, and still offer the user the
choice to do change view "right now" (or not, by default, so that
nothing changes if the user clicks enter too fast).
