Check if text selection is in header/footer
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
The Word Addin we created allows adding custom comments to text selections. Word does not allow adding comments in headers / footers. Because of that, users should get warned when text in a header/footer is selected.
- The selection's OOXML structure for text in body and text in header is identical.
- The Word UI itself disabled the review comments section when footer/header text is selected.
- When dumping the text selection object to te console, none of the object fields point to the selection being in header/footer.
How can be found out programmatically that text is selected in the header/footer?

You can achieve this by looking at the parentBody property of the selection range. The type property on the parentBody will reveal whether the selection is in the 'Header' or elsewhere (see documentation).
Example
function determineSelectionInHeader() {
Word.run(function (context) {
const HEADER_TYPE = "Header";
// Retrieve and load 'type' of selection.
var selection = context.document.getSelection();
var parentBody = selection.parentBody;
parentBody.load("type");
context
.sync()
.then(function () {
if (parentBody.type === HEADER_TYPE) {
console.log("This is the header");
}
});
});
}

Perfect,parentBody.typeindeed did the trick. Was not aware that headers / footers have their own body.
