Details:

We're improving behavior of Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MIP) content markings for headers and footers in Word to be more closely aligned with the behavior implemented by the Azure Information Protection (AIP) plugin for Office apps. This includes inserting header and footer content with the “in front of text” configuration so content markings won’t rearrange existing document content.

[When this will happen:]
This will happen starting rolling out on November 1st the following App versions:
Windows version: 16.0.15703.10000
