removing all headers and footers

Is there a way to copy text to search into the search and replace dialog box
in 2003?
 
Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work for copy and paste almost universally.

Hi, I have those keys reassigned to other functions. But when I try to use
cut and past or copy from the right mouse click, they do not work to put
material into the search dialog box? Nothing happens when I right click on
that search box?
 
It was unwise to assign these keys to other functions. You might be able to
get by without Ctrl+C, but you need Ctrl+V to paste into dialog boxes and in
other situations where toolbar buttons and menus are unavailable. These keys
(along with Ctrl+X) are Windows-wide, not used just in Word. You could
assign the EditPaste command to another shortcut, but it would be far wiser
to change the assignment for whatever command you've assigned Ctrl+V to.
