I would be curious as to what your IT staff decides the problem is. Good luck, sorry to not have an easy answer for you.

No, I use Save As and click Word document (.docx). I ran a simple test wherein I created a single-page document from scratch, added a footer, then saved it to my desktop. Then I re-opened it, checked that the footer was still there, and then did Save As with a simple change to the title. The newly saved version had no footer. It's as if there is a switch somewhere that I need to throw, but I don't know where. Either that or my company gave me a buggy version of Word - I'm running the same question past the company IT folks. If I get a solution from that path I'll let you know. When I tried the Save As on a large document I got from outside the company, it lost the First Page Footer - Section 1 but copied the other headers and footers fine. Mysterious.

After you click the Office button and choose Save As, you're not choosing Word 97-2003 Document, instead of using Word document, are you?

How can I transfer headers and footers automatically along with the rest of the document and not have to re-insert them manually from the building blocks into the copy?
