Holly I'm not sure that this is something that you are doing or omitting to do - I encountered a similar experience with Word 2000 around 9 months ago and it was a totally inexplicable event. All I eventually managed to detect that it is to do with multiple section usage and how the page/section breaks fall within that. It was especially bad with documents where multiple operators had worked and had used different types of breaks. We got so frustrated with the problem that eventually we removed ALL our headers and page/section breaks, replacing them with bookmarks within the document to show where they should be. We then recreated the breaks using a consistent method throughout and set up the new headers on that basis. Depending on the size of your document, you might find this is the easiest way to solve the problem. Sorry, but I don't have anything more techie to offer you!

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.
