    At our SharePoint site, Announcements have been added as a left web part on the Home page. Column headings are not displayed here and it's not apparent why.  (In 'View All Site Content', column headings are displayed for Announcements.)

    I'd appreciate any ideas on this.  Thanks.

    Open the site settings, Edit page, click the web part you're having the issues with and choose modify shared web part.  Then under apperance chose "chrome type.  Set this to default and press apply.   If it does press ok and exit edit page mode.

    Let me know if that helps.

    Thanks Kris.  I previously tried changing Chrome to 'Default'.  I just tried it again, then clicked Apply and OK and even exited and re-entered the site in case there might be caching.  The column headings still don't appear for Announcements on the Home page though as they do in 'View All Site Content'.  If you have any other ideas on this, please let me know.  Thanks.

    Did you try and modify the view in the web part as well?

    Kris has the answer here... The Announcements web part has a default view (the summary view) that is somewhat "custom" and does not display column headings like other list web parts. To switch to a list view with column headings click the Edit button on the web part, click Modify Shared Web Part and select a view from the dropdown list.
