Default Custom Document Properties

Sometimes that may be true. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I don't
completely understand why, and under what conditions, Word sometimes
maintains a paragraph mark in an otherwise empty header; there are many
factors at play.

When someone says they have deleted a header, however, although it might be
worth asking them to double check that they have completely deleted it, that
isn't really what you did and, as I said, what exactly existence means to a
header (or, indeed, to any of us g) is a debate that could go on for a
long time.

No, 'cause it takes up space. If you had a header and don't want it
any more, after you delete everything that was in it, you still have
to go back to Page Setup to be sure it won't encroach on your text
area.

It's a moot point as to whether or not an empty Header 'exists'.

From an ordinary user perspective deleting the content has the effect of
(at
least appearing to) delete the header.

On the other hand, the Word object model does always have three header
objects per section but ... they do have a somewhat paradoxical Exists
property.

Methinks you are being a little harsh on the poster.

My document is taking forever to "repaginate" on scroll (In Print
Layout View, and this is where I want to work) and I have isolated
the problem to the headers where I have inserted fields linking to
Custom Document Properties. When I delete the header, the document
scrolls without visible repagination. When I reinsert the header,
the
document takes forever to "repaginate" on scroll. If I paste the
header into the actual document on a number of pages, it scrolls OK.


Is there something I am missing in my Custom Document Properties or
when linking Fields? Any suggestions, please!!!! (This post is a
follow-on from my post titled "Background Repagination".)
