Can you create a "before" and "after" document that demonstrates the
problem? It is best if the document contains a description of the
problem along wiht the steps required to recreate the problem.
After you have done this, can you create an issue for this problem?
Do you know how to do this? If you do know how, after you create the
issue, can you email me the issue number to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
If you do not know how to create an issue, can you simply email me
the two files so that I can reproduce the problem by doing exactly
what you have done.
My primary interest is NOT that I am an expert on this, but that if I
see the problem, then I can write some macros to examine the document
internals and attempt to figure out what went wrong based on the
incorrect output.
FYI all - since I an a relative newbie here in the OOo world I have
opted to forward the related files to him. I sure hope he isn't using
dial-up!

The primary problem with the document is that it contains 1982 different
page styles. The footer is tied to the page style. So, all 1982 extra
page styles needed to be modified to contain a footer. The extra footers
are related to the way that the original DOC file is created. I provided
a macro that deletes all of these extra page styles so that a single
page style can be used for the entire document, so that only one footer
needed to be declared.
Now, the biggest problem is that OOo takes a long long long time to do
things to a document that contains more than 1000 pages. On loading, the
document reformats and it is difficult to edit the document during this
time.
