Thank you for the replies, and for poking at the template.

I ran Andrew's macro to confirm that all of the content controls are mapped to the same nodes.

I also rebuilt the content controls in a blank template based on a "pure," default Normal. I did a little testing and it seems to work. The only weirdness was, in one instance, when binding a node to a CC, in Developer view, only one of the blue brackets turned orange. Also, after binding CCs in the body of the doc, they didn't change to orange, but when I bound CCs to the same nodes in headers/footers, there they changed to orange, but back in the body, they didn't unless I re-mapped them to their respective nodes. Not sure if that's meaningful...

I have macros in my Normal template, but none auto-run or otherwise have anything to do with XML. Still, I'll move them elsewhere and rebuild the CCs in the actual template giving me trouble.


EDIT: Finally, in the past, I was tabbing/clicking out of the last CC (and the header/footer, if I was in one), but it didn't make a difference.



Thanks again for taking a look.
