Charles,
As an addendum to the message sent today, I have discovered that the new
document created from the corrupt one will activate the header and footer
toolbar in the first section, but not the second one. It appears that the
corruption carried over from section two in the corrupt document into the new
one as well. Any insights on how to proceed with the de-corruption? Thanks!

Generally you copy your document, a bit at a time into a new document. You
do not want any section breaks, which includes the last pilcrow in the
document, copied into the new document. Unfortunately, this is also all of
the headers and footers.

Hi Charles,
I have isolated that my word document is corrupt in at least one paragraph
mark (pilcrow). When I show paragraph marks in the document, there is one
at
the very top and bottom left of each page, which is dim. Page numbers also
are listed at the bottom of each page. Moreover, if I click on the
pilcrow
at the top or bottom of a page, the header and footer toolbar will pop up
along with the boxes. Yet when I hide the pilcrow, the header and footer
toolbar and boxes will not activate. Any suggestions on how to fix a
corrupt
document?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

If the header and footer boxes, themselves, don't display, you may have a

I received comprehensive instructions from a community member in this NG
about using a macro to activate the H&F toolbar. However, when I
entered
the
command in the immediate window of vba, a run-time "automation" error
occurred. So I am still stuck. Thanks for you responses.

Suzanne,
My problem is that the Header and Footer on the view menu is not
visible
when I activate it. The only thing that happens is the page where I
want
to
activate the H&F "jumps", but no H&F box or toolbar is visible. I
am
baffled
at why Word refuses to activate the H&F command.

Using MS Word 2003, when I activate the header and footer boxes
from
the
view
menu, they are only visible when the plicrow (paragraph symbol)
is
engaged.
The symbol also is listed in the header and footer boxes and I
can't
eliminate it. All I'm trying to do is to insert page numbers in
the
footer
of
a document after one section break. Any assistance with this
issue
is
greatly
appreciated.
