without bringing across the header and footer?

Glad you finally got it sorted. Although creating the header and
footer may
have been the trick, it's also possible that just adding some
content did
it. I do know that if you use Insert | File to insert a document
into a
completely blank document, it will take on the formatting of the
inserted
file, in effect including the final paragraph mark (which I consider
perverse). If you press Enter a couple of times before inserting the
file,
then it doesn't bring its section formatting with it. Adding a
header may
have accomplished the same thing.

Suzanne,

The PROBLEM has been solved. Before reading your reply to my post
today,
I
copied w/o section breaks and the final paragraph mark and pasted
into a
new
document again. However, this time I created a header and footer
with
page
numbers BEFORE pasting to the target new document. Afterward, a
second
section break was inserted and page numbers were formatted to fit
it
(section
break 2).

If memory serves me correctly, you mentioned in an earlier reply
that one
has to create a header and footer in order to be able to activate
it. I
failed to heed your advice and was trying to create the header and
footer
ex
post copying from a corrupt source document and pasting to a new
target
document. I have learned so much about styles and formatting and
headers
and
footers since "peeking" into the community. Learning is a
lifelong
process
is one is open to it. I have been using word for a few years and
never
understood the difference between style formatting versus direct
formatting,
not to mentioned the simple task of creating a header and footer
BEFORE
composing a new document that includes section breaks. That has
all
changed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you and Charles for all the assistance
with
this
seemingly insurmountable issue. Keep up the good work!

Charles,

As an addendum to the message sent today, I have discovered
that the
new
document created from the corrupt one will activate the header
and
footer
toolbar in the first section, but not the second one. It
appears that
the
corruption carried over from section two in the corrupt
document into
the
new
one as well. Any insights on how to proceed with the
de-corruption?
Thanks!

Generally you copy your document, a bit at a time into a new
document.
You
do not want any section breaks, which includes the last
pilcrow in
the
document, copied into the new document. Unfortunately, this
is also
all
of
the headers and footers.

Hi Charles,

I have isolated that my word document is corrupt in at
least one
paragraph
mark (pilcrow). When I show paragraph marks in the
document,
there is
one
at
the very top and bottom left of each page, which is dim.
Page
numbers
also
are listed at the bottom of each page. Moreover, if I
click on
the
pilcrow
at the top or bottom of a page, the header and footer
toolbar will
pop
up
along with the boxes. Yet when I hide the pilcrow, the
header and
footer
toolbar and boxes will not activate. Any suggestions on
how to
fix a
corrupt
document?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I received comprehensive instructions from a community
member in
this NG
about using a macro to activate the H&F toolbar.
However, when
I
entered
the
command in the immediate window of vba, a run-time
"automation"
error
occurred. So I am still stuck. Thanks for you
responses.

Suzanne,

My problem is that the Header and Footer on the view
menu is
not
visible
when I activate it. The only thing that happens is
the page
where I
want
to
activate the H&F "jumps", but no H&F box or toolbar
is
visible.
I
am
baffled
at why Word refuses to activate the H&F command.

Using MS Word 2003, when I activate the header
and
footer
boxes
from
the
view
menu, they are only visible when the plicrow
(paragraph
symbol)
is
engaged.
The symbol also is listed in the header and
footer boxes
and
I
can't
eliminate it. All I'm trying to do is to insert
page
numbers
in
the
footer
of
a document after one section break. Any
assistance with
this
issue
is
greatly
appreciated.
