Default odd header corruption in document with many sections

I have a document, created with a template full of macros, which ends up
being one or two dozen sections, each with it's own unique header, and some
with unique footers also. Of course all of the "same as previous"
attributes are disabled.

The problem is that without knowing how it's happening, the document
sometimes becomes corrupted, so that the footer in section 3 say, which is
unique and so I can identify it as being the footer for section 3, is ok,
but section 3 ends up having the header of section 4; section 4 has that of
section 5, and so on.

It looks as though the list of headers simply had one removed (but not the
footers, so it didn't lose an entire section break).

Does anyone have any guesses as to what could cause this intermittant type
of corruption?

Word 2003 sp3 under xp.

thanks.

Chip

Hi Chip,
This is a really interesting question. Have you turned on all of the
"formatting marks" to see what's going on in the background? Have you
checked the "page setup" to see if your layout is setting different first
pages for you sections?
Hope this helps,
Dkline
