If the mergefield is still in the header after your code has run, that's because you're still not executing the merge.



You really do seem determined to do things your own way instead of following the advice given...

Paul, last time I executed the merge, I was stuck with a nasty error that wouldn't go away. My process & code works (with the exception of the footer that doesn't get unlinked with the rest of the mergefields).

Considering I have these workbooks/documents in front of me, which are complex and difficult to explain sometimes, it may be most beneficial to try and find a solution for what I'm asking, although please do not get me wrong, I do appreciate your attempts to modify the entire process and give me a more straightforward approach.

Fact is, I put a lot of time into this method and I don't have the time to re-start, re-test, and re-train individuals when a process is working effectively (compared to previous processes). All I need now is this footer to unlink so when my users send their Word Docs to PDFs or go to print the Doc, the footer doesn't change to a mergefield. Aside from that, the process is great and I'd like to continue using it.

With all that being said, if you don't have a solution, that's fine and again, I appreciate your time & efforts.
