Hello,
Is there a max number of characters set for footers in Word 2007. I have a
1 page document with a lot of information in the footer area and when I hit
enter on the last line I cant see anything that I'm typing. I have cleared
the formatting but I still cant see any new information being typed after
the last line.

Any Help is appreciated.

There is no limit for the header/footer per se; the header/footer will
expand downward/upward to accommodate as much text as you want to put in it.
If you're using one of the building blocks that contains content controls,
there may be a limit to the amount of text the CC can contain.

Ms Barnhill,

Nothing to indicate CC text is limited he

But is it possible to impose a limit, as one can with text form fields?

Yes by using the OnExit event. However, while I didn't have any problem
today, this event has been plagued with a bug since Word2007 was released so
it may not be reliable:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As
ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
If Len(ContentControl.Range.Text) 10 Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "The limit for this CC is 10 characters"
End If
End Sub

The code above is very basic and as written limits the text length in "all"
CCs to 10.

AFAIK, there is no equivelant to form field "Maximum length" attribute.

Okay, so that can't be the issue in this case.
