Ghost Headers

[Guest]

MSWord 2003

I am working with several ongoing individuals letters that are based upon a
letter template set up by someone other than myself. When I run a spell
check on any of the resulting letters (based upon the template) the spell
check questions a spelling that exists in a header that I am unable to locate
within the resulting document(s). The heading doesn't print and doesn't
actually show up in any of the "view" formats. I remain unable to locate
this "ghost header" in order to delete the text or make any other
modifications to its appearance.

I subsequently went to the original template and the same header exists
within the template, where I continue to be unable to actually locate it.

Although it doesn't appear to have an effect on any of the resulting
letters; I remain curious as to what this situation may be all about or what
may be the cause of it.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Rod

A letter template is usually (properly) set up with a First Page
Header/Footer and a Header/Footer for subsequent pages. If the letter has
only one page, you won't see the Header/Footer. You can insert a page break
temporarily in order to display these and correct them. This would most
productively be done in the template.

As always, thanks so very much for your help. Your response indeed was the

It is such a terrific thing to have this forum to which we can post
