The problem may be that you are using a file whose underlying template 
began life in Word 2 -- there are bad inconsistencies between Word 6 and 
Word 2 in the way they handle templates. I have seen all sorts of odd 
problems in files that disappeared when I attached a Word 6 template in 
place of the original.
