If you save a Word file as a plain text file(a .txt extension), all your
formatting (including headers and footers) is removed and any text in the
headers and footers is converted to text, as you noted, at the end of the
file. If you need a "text" file, consider an RTF (rich text format), which
will retain your formatting.

I am trying to save a Word 2003 as a text file. The problem is I have a
header in the document, whenever I save it as text, the header is saved as a
"footer" instead. It appears at the very end of the document.

Please help, Thank you.
