Thanks! I followed the link, and it told me to save the doc as a web page and
then back to a doc format. That fixed all the weirdness in the
headers/footers!
Bless you for your help!

I could make up a theory that your headers/footers have become corrupted, as
all errors are connected to them. This sounds vaguely possible. Complex
documents (like yours) also increases the chances of corruption.
ON A COPY of the your document, try these tips for fixing corruption:

Tracking Changes in headers/footers but not the main text definitely sounds
like corruption, as I don't think it's possible to get Word to do that in
the ordinary way of things.
Why do you need cross-references in the headers? What are they
cross-references to?

I have a 200+ page doc, with 20+ sections. I am having problems with adding
cross-reference links in the headers, and instead get "ERROR MAIN DOCUMENT
ONLY".
I also get the same message when I try to add page numbers. It is NOT a mail
merge doc, and I stopped tracking changes with the toolbar icon, but Word
kept tracking them in the headers and footers. When I try to accept (or
reject) all changes, Word crashes every time.
Is my doc somehow corrupt, or can someone explain this to me?
Thanks.
