If headers are being removed, that indicates there are Section breaks on the pages being deleted. Since you hadn't mentioned that as a possibility, it wasn't coded for.

In other words, your reference to page deletion was nothing more than misdirection. It really would be helpful if you could actually specify what you want done up front, rather than waiting till something's been developed on the basis of entirely wrong specifications.

If your articles use one of Word's Heading Styles for the articles, that would be quite easy.
