Missing word footer text box.

[ArtF]

Folks

I have a large document template that I have lost the footer text box
in. I lost the whole box not just the contents. I am working with
Word 2000 so there is no view whitespace option to try. If I go to
view header and footer and select the switch icon it sends me to the
bottom of the page but there is no text box, if I do put text in at
this point it appears in the header. At this point I am pulling my
hair out, I can't even figure out how to delete the footer text box to
test putting one back let alone fix the document. Any and all help
appreciated.

Sounds like a corrupt document. See
