    2 ways:

    (1) As ikonia says, create a template: Create a blank document with the required header/footer. "File->Save As", and choose "Save as type" - "Document template (*.dot)". Save it in the MS Word template directory. To find where this directory is, do "Tools->Options", then "File Locations", and look for "User templates" in the list. Then when you start Word, select "File->New" and a window will come up listing the available templates. Select your new template to get the automatic header/footer, or "Blank Document" to get a completely blank doc.

    (2) If you *really* want every document to have the header/footer, then you can make the blank document template have the header/footer. To do this, follow the instructions above, but save the template as "Normal.dot", overwriting the existing one (maybe rename it first in case you want to go back!). Then all new documents you create will have the header & footer.

    All these instructions are for Word 97 - other versions will be the same, but they might have changed the names of menu items slightly.

    Hope that helps.
