Hi Mark,

Is there a way to copy a large, multi-sectioned document without copying the
headers and footers?

Not in one step, no. The header/footer information (along with margin settings,
number of columns) is stored "in" the section break. So you'd have to copy each
section without the section break.

Thanks for your prompt response. Is there a VBA solution for this, or I was
thinking about a macro to delete the headers and footers before copying the
document. So I would run the header removing macro in the source document,
copy and paste into the destination document and then close the source
document without saving it.

My plan seems pretty inefficient though. Do you have any better suggestions
for a coded solution.

If you're going to use VBA, rather than removing the headers and footers, it
would be easier just to copy the content of the document body section by
section, and paste that into the new document.

Good idea, I'm off to borrow some code...

You can use File | Save As to create a new document, and then manually
clear headers and footers in the newly created document.

If you want to automate the header/footer deletion, try the following
very simple macro, which a knowledgeable programmer probably could
improve (or replace with a more efficient one):

Sub DeleteHeadersFooters()
Dim s As Section
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Delete
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Delete
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Delete

s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Delete
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Delete
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Delete
Next s
End Sub
