I have a document which contains a letterhead and footer (text/logo in the
'header' and 'footer' boxes) and want to copy this onto several other
pre-written seperate documents. Is there a simpler way to do this than
copying and pasting, which messes up the formatting (there are text boxes in
the footer)?

If not, is there a way to copy simultaneously two text boxes and some
non-text-boxed text (i.e. the text and the formatting for the entire footer)?
Pressing CTRL + A only captures either the text in the boxes and not the
formatting or the non-text-boxed text and nothing else. Holding the copied
text with the CTRL button doesn't capture the formatting (text boxes).

I'm using Word 2002.

thanks

Do the reverse - copy and paste the text from the body of the other
documents into the body of the document with the header/footer, saving it
with a different name of course.

Hope this helps.

After you've successfully "updated" all documents, you can delete and
rename via Windows Explorer.
