I built macros to include different footers in my document.  The macro moves
the cursor at the beginning of the document, opens header/footer, goes to
the footer section, inserts an autotext, moves and links sections together
and so on for the number of sections in the document.  The autotext entry is
composed of a logo, a  tab, and the creation date of the document.  This
works o.k.

In the header, I have something as above:

Section 2                                     PAGE 1
CONFIDENTIAL
___________________________________________________________________________

The problem is when the cursor is positioned in the middle of the document
(ex. section 3) and I execute the macro and save immediately, the image of
the footer moves to the header and the page field extends up to the word
CONFIDENTIAL and  the image is of course removed from the footer.

If I close the document without saving, the document is o.k. when I reopen
it.

The problem seems occur only when the Page field in included in the header.

I tried adding the autotext manually, andit does the same thing.

Do you have an idea of what is wrong.

Many thanks for your help.

I'm not completely sure I understand exactly what's happening to your
documents, but I know if your macro is a recorded one, that actually opens and
moves through the headers and footers, then it is quite unreliable. It's much
better to work directly with Word's object model when manipulating headers and
footers. More like this:

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("Footer").Insert _
    Where:=ActiveDocment.Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range
    RichText:=True
