Hi Mark,
You can, if you want, change just one word in the footer. (Acutally, change all occurences of a text string with another text string)
oWord.Selection.Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text will give you the current text. If you want to change a word you could check out the STRTRAN() function.
