I'm using Word 2007.

I have a mail merge main document with a footer. After I run the merge, the footer is missing from the merged document - I can't see it onscreen or in print, but when I go back to the main document, the footer is still there.

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what's up? It may well be me causing the problem.

If the footer display involves any field coding that incorporates an IF test, that could explain it.

Without seeing the mailmerge main document, it's difficult to give further advice.
Can you attach the document to a post (delete any sensitive data)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.
