removing all headers and footers

How do I get rid of all headers and footers at once, and fix the template so
none ever appear? I never use them, but somehow they creep in. JF
 
To delete headers and footers in a document: Activate the header/footer
view, for examply by double-clicking the header. Then delete the header and
footer contents.

Note that each Word section can have up to three different headers (and
footers), namely, if the "Different odd and even" and "Different first page"
options are both checked in the Page Layout dialog box. Each type of header
(footer) must be deleted separately. For more on headers and footers, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm.

To delete headers and footers in a template, you'll do the same as for
documents. Just remember to open the template as a document (via the Open
dialog box) first.

If you want a macro solution, here's a simple one:

Sub DeleteHeadersAndFooters()
Dim s As Section
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Sections
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Text = ""
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ""
s.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = ""

s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages).Range.Text = ""
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Text = ""
s.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text = ""

Next s
End Sub
