Cannot paste frame into Header on Word 97 Doc.

[Joey Burke]

I am trying to copy a frame containing text (one word)
from the header of one Word 97 document into the header of
another Word 97 document via the Clipboard. When I paste
into the second document's header, I get the never-ending
hourglass and have to stop Word 97 via the Task Manager.
It paste into the body of the document or a new document
immediately.
Any idea what's going on here?

Hi Joey,

This sound like the header/footer section might be damamged.
Does the same thing happen in a new document?

If not, copy/Paste the text from the problem document -
WITHOUT the last paragraph mark - into a new document.
Recreate the headers, footers, margins...
