How to delete a footer--No "delete button"
MOS 03 on Win XP SP2 Box.
I wanted to delete a footer. I used MS Word's help and got directions to do what is below. The problem is there is no delete button anywhere on that footer toolbar after you hit switch between header and footer to get to it. At least I don't see a delete button anywhere on that toolbar. To remove the header and footer from a section of the document, do the following: 1.. On the View menu, click Header and Footer. 2.. If necessary, click Show Previous or Show Next on the Header and Footer toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.) to move to the header or footer that you want to delete. Note Make sure that the Link to Previous button is not activated in the section or in the following section, or all of your headers and footers will be removed even if you separated the document into sections. 3.. In the header or footer area, select the text and graphics, and then press DELETE. Thanks, Chad Harris |

Hi Chad,
They meant the Delete key on the keyboard, not anything on the toolbar. This is just like deleting text or graphics anywhere else in the document -- the only difference being that you need some extra steps to get to the proper footer in order to select its text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Chad Harris wrote: MOS 03 on Win XP SP2 Box.
