Content in header changes when I convert the word document to pdf
My document has a header and footer. The moment I click onto print preview,
the content of the header changes to an older version. The intention is to convert the word to a pdf.
The document was originally in docx, I tried renaming it to doc. No changes to the problem.
Any ideas/suggestions welcome.
- Hi, My guess is that the 'old header' is still present in one or more sections. Kind regards Hans
Hi
Please check the title of the document in the 'save as' window. I faced a similar issue turns out the header was replaced with "the title" given while saving the document.

JMarti54 If you upload a copy of a Word document with which you have the problem we will investigate the issue.
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP where do I upload it?
Every section of a Word document has three headers and three footers. You can have multiple sections in a single page which really makes things confusing. Header/Footer Settings Recap
The simple thing to do is to expand every section to have at least three full pages. Then you will be able to see all of your headers and footers. Edit to suit, and then remove the extra pages.Here is a tool prepared by Word MVPs: Toolkit for Advanced Management of Headers and Footers.
