but ... When you paste a PDF into word, it does not re-install the Footers, and there really isn't any kind of links, it just sees them as text.

So they end up being sandwiched between the 1st page, and next, and so forth ... in my case, all 185 pages.

One end-around would be to do a "FIND", then I'd have to manually delete all 185 of them with: F8, highlight (to the end), DELete -Or-

I suppose I could just create a macro to do the above, But I'd STILL have to hit the Macro Key Combo 185 times to delete the mess. The point is, I just don't want to have to go through 185 steps of anything. I'm sure there is a solution for this I just need to find it. <sigh>

Now it's become the principal of the matter! But thanks for the reply!
