MS Office 2003 & Headers and Footers & Security

We are in the midst of the mix perceived and real pain of implementing
an information classification system (RIT - Confidential, Third Party
Confidential, RIT - Internal Use Only, Public).  And did some creative
things with header and footer standardization, to concisely and
accurately communicate sensitivity, distribution, revision, etc).  

And then came Office 2003, with its "Reading layout" in Word, which
strips all header and footer information in its display.  

Does anyone know a way of 
   a - Turning on the display of headers and footers in "Reading layout"
   b - Getting Microsoft's attention to tell them to hire some security
people for their human-computer interface group?
