Default I am having difficulty with deleting headers and footers

Oh, and also.. Make the transition to Word. I did (from WordPerfect in DOS)
and am glad I did.
I've kept all my old (WP) documents in a separate folder and when any of
them is required I can then convert to Word automatically using an addin
that requires the original Word CDs.

I routinely used WordPerfect before I retired, and have not had occasion to
write long documents since then. We have a relatively new Dell Dimension
that came with Microsoft Word. I was asked to write about a 50 page
document, which I started in Word Perfect, before I found that it was
never
saved in the correct format, due to some inexplicable interference with
Word.
So I copied to Word, to complete the document. However, in restoring a
deleted passage, Word duplicated about 5 times inserting it randomly in
the
body of my document and surrounded it with Header-Footer commands. How do
I
get rid of this? I have read the manual and Word for Dummies.and cannot
find any explanation? Makes me almost wish I weren't retired so I could
call
tech support and not have to deal with it..
