I did that just now, and then typed scr and F3, and "Scripture" appears and also the scroll icon with the page number. I closed Word and reopened Word, and the same thing happened again. Any other suggestion?

Have you tried deleting, and recreating, the "scr" entry as well?

Thanks. That takes care of the problem of creating an entry that includes that nasty "Scroll icon."

But can you help me with a Scroll Icon in an existing document. I originally created this unintentionally by typing "scr" and now I can't get rid of the icon. It appears as a footer on a particular page. There were also page numbers at the bottom of the page, and I was able to delete those by removing the footer. But Word does not recognize the scroll icon as a footer, even though it appears at the bottom of the page. I am not able to remove it. if you have a suggestion, please tell me. If you are willing for me to send you the file, so that you can try to remove the scroll icon, that would be great!

Thanks,
Daniel
