Proper use of Word styles avoids most header/footer problems. Can you
describe what you were trying to do for over 3 hours?
For that matter, proper use of styles should also eliminate the need for
manual tab changes. If you give more details, we might be able to give
specific solutions.
Happy Friday,
Dan
