Word 5.1 - Disappearing Footers?

  My department just completed installing Word 5.1 on our Macs.  We no
are experiencing a weird problem that perhaps others have experienced,
so here goes.
  Thing is, we are losing, on occasion, the footers in our old Word 4.0 files
when we open them up in 5.1.  They just plain disappear.  Poof.  Vanished.
On a couple of occasions, I think, it wasn't even the first time the file
was opened. Or edited.  Strange, eh?
  If anyone has experienced this problem, or knows of a fix, please respond.
(Maybe that 5.1a fix handles this?  I'm not sure exactly what that fixed,   
but I thought I remembered it being something fairly obscure...)
