Is the footer text actually disappearing or are the footers just hidden? See

Using Word 2007, I and an assistant have been creating a handbook with
numerous Chapters. We have a footer for each Chapter, which very easily
inserts initially. The documents are saved as '97 - 2003 compatable.
When
we are performing modifications or additions to the Chapters, very often,
fopr no apparent reason, the footers have disappeared when the documents
are
reopened. Any help???????
