I have discovered what appears to be a major bug with the Running-heads
formatting feature in Microsoft Word 5.0.  It seems that whenever I
format a paragraph as a Running-head, the paragraph disappears from the
screen, with no way to get it back; however, the paragrah still
shows up as a Running-head when I print out the document.  This is a
big problem, since it's impossible to edit the Running-head (or even
see what it is).  This bug didn't exist under Word 4.0, and as far as I
can tell from the manual, there aren't any major changes  between
4.0 and 5.0 in the way you define Running-heads.  Am I doing something
wrong, or is this a real bug?  Does Microsoft know about it, and
do they plan to do anything about it?

Thanks,
