Disappearing headers/footers in Word '03 custom template
I'm working in a template I have created in Word 2003 and something new is
happening. Normally, in a custom template, I can delete the text in the body of the new document (after choosing the custom template from File-New), and the custom headers and footers stay in place. However, today, in my new template, when I delete the body text, it deletes all of my headers and footers also. I've never had this happen before. When I do a Select-All it does not highlight the header and footer text (as if they've been included in the Select-All) but it's deleting them anyway. I need my users to be able to delete text but keep the headers and footers! Any suggestions? |

Disappearing headers/footers in Word '03 custom template
Jenmusca:
I can think of two ways in which the body of the document might impact the headers and footers. First, if the headers and footers contain fields that depend on values in the body. For example, using a StyleRef field to put the chapter title into a header requires that you have a paragraph with the referenced style in the body. Second, if the headers and footers you created are defined in a given section, and the section mark gets deleted, then the headers and footers defined in the last section (the default section) will be used. So if the headers and footers defined in the last section are empty, deleting all section breaks will effectively delete the header and footer content. There may be other ways of deleting the h&f content, but those two are where I'd check first. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |
