I think it would help if we understood why you need to do this. Is this in
order to convert the document to .txt or .htm format (in which headers and
footers are not retained)?

Hi Tony,

I might not have been very clear in my previous post. The purpose of
merging
different documents with multiple headers and footers is not my goal.

I am working with only one document at a time. When saying this I mean
that
the document has only one header, one footer and one table.
My task is
to get the text of the header part and put it as text above the table.
Then to blank out the header - as in delete the text within it (not
delete the header itself).
Copy footer information as a footnote.
Blank out the footer - as in delete the text within it (not delete the
footer itself).
Do the same on every page. i.e. paste the same header and footer above
and below the table.

I will need to create a macro for this. So will have to code it in VBA, I
guess.

If it is not possible to do it, I might as well not attempt it. But
somehow
I feel that my task is not going against the word pagination but just
about
cut-paste text from header and footer and about table breaks and page
breaks
at right locations.
To do it programmatically is still a monumental task for me.

Please advice.

Best regards,
Sanket
