Disappearing text in footer

[Judi Johnson]

I'm creating a footer and on the right hand side of the
footer the text begins to disappear, even as I type it in.

I've tried deleting the entire thing and starting again,
but to no avail.

Can someone please help? I'm using Word 2002(10.2627.2625)

I'll never know what the cause was, Klaus. I appreciate
your trying to help me. I finally completely re-created
the document and was able to make it work.

I have the feeling that possibly some sort of graphic box,
without any picture or border was in place and the text
was disappearing behind it. I could not find the errant
graphic box, but I did have 2 graphics in the footer.

I only wish I could figure out how to use MSWord. I find
it a most frustrating program for someone who learned on
WordPerfect. At least in that program, I can see every
code in the document and easily find and remove errant
ones. <sigh>

Methinks this learning process is going to be a very long
one.

Thanks again.
