How to edit header/footer

[Josh Orfanakis]

I have a bunch of documents with various date fields in the headers and
footers. I would like to scan for these fields and replace them or
remove them. I have the code which identifies the questionable fields in
the header and footer but I don't see a way to remove them or edit them.

I would like to avoid searching for them in the straight text (from the
range) as the dates or format won't be known.

In case I am way off base here is what I am doing

For each section I get the header and footer. For each header and footer
I look in each type of header footer and get the range for each. In each
range I iterate the fields. If the field is of a certain WdFieldType I
would like to remove it or change the resulting text in the header
footer to the name of the field rather than the meaning of the field.

TIA

did you solve your problem?
I did this kind of thing using VBA, mostly with code from the MVPs
site.
Answer back if you want any of the code.
