If anyone can explain what I'm doing (not doing) that will help, you will be blessed with the knowledge that you have saved my sanity (thou I'm sure someone will say you're too late to save my sanity)! Working with Word XP I have a multi-page document with multiple sections. Each section has it's own header and another word document linked into it. The linked documents are consistently being updated and I periodically re-link these documents into mine. Every time I re-link, I lose the header on the first page of that section. Subsequent pages do not lose their header. I'm also losing footers but haven't paid as much attention to the exact circumstances, but some pages have the footer and some don't. When I open the orginal document - before updating any links - all the headers and footers are in place.
