Not True!  If you select text with footnote markers in it, copy, and
paste to another Word document, the footnotes are pasted with it.

  Also not true.  Headers, footers and page numbers are all part of the
section formatting.  As long as you get the "section Break" you will get
these too.

Now - if your intent is to copy and paste into a plain text file - or
some other application, your assertions may be true - I haven't tried
this!
