Hi Beth,
I figured that was what you meant.
If I delete the header in Word 2007 and open the .docx package the header footer trio file sets no longer exist:
header1.xml (Even page header),
header2.xml (Regular/Odd) or
header3.xml (Different 1st page)
FWIW, as far as visibility I get the same behavior in Word 2003, and if I use Save as XML the <w:hdr elements of w:type="even",
w:type="odd" and w:type="first"
are also gone if I've deleted the header content.
Then occasionally I'll find that I've left behind in a template an even page or different first page header that comes back <g> that
I forgot about once I did a Ctrl+A to delete the body content before saving <g> but if I delete those I no longer see the paragraph
mark from the deleted header when returning to the document from those.
==========
I saw the empty paragraph removed in the demo and it's removed in Word 2007
if you delete the header/footer or leave it empty. Perhaps I need to clarify
what I mean by removing the paragraph mark. I'm talking about removing the
view of the empty paragraph mark when you close the header/footer. IOW,
when I access the header/footer in word 2007 I see a paragraph mark, which I
expect to see since I plan on adding text, but if I close the header/footer
without adding anything it disappears.
