Somehow you did something that turned on footnotes. Or could it be review?
See if you have Review enabled.

Sorry, I see nothing in the .dot that causes this. I just looked at the
code
in the attachment (header.htm) and it looks like Word is automatically
trying
to add Footnote Separaters at the end of the email.

The css tag in the .htm attachment is titled
'mso-special-character:footnote-separator' and the added html code (4
times)
is hr align=left size=1 width="33%".

This is something new that started after I reinstalled Office. Not a clue
what to look for and why it's being added automatically by Word.

It sounds like you have a header set in word. Close Outlook, verify word
is
closed. Find the .dot file and open it in word for editing. I'm not sure
if
you need to edit normal.dot or the email .dot file - check both.

Okay, I'm pretty frustrated right now. I had to do a full install of a
new
operating system (Vista Business) earlier this month that was
previously
an
Windows XP system. That also forced me to reinstall all of my
applications
(in some cases new versions). which also included reinstalling Office
2003
Pro. Of course nothing works the same any more. Upgrades will not
install
because of some obsecure Error Code 779. (separate issue and
unresolved.)

The newest problem is that all of my emails now generate an xmlns file
that
either adds a bunch of lines drawn at the bottom, or worse, attaches a
file
named "headers.htm" to the email. I'm using Word as the editor and
sending
in HTML format.

Since I use this system for business (responding to questions from
online
students) , that attachment now gets my emails sent to the receivers
Spam
Box
about 1/2 the time.

How do I fix this? I've tried editing the "normal.dot", but Word does
not
permit me to save that file, because "it's in use". And Vista does not
allow
me access to the folder to save it under another name, then rename it
later.
