Undo creates hard return in header/footer

[okscoutr]

Windows XP - Word 2002 SP3

Working in a 3 column table, middle column is center-aligned. Word helpfully center aligns all the tables in the document when this particular column is modified. (Table has a style applied that cannot be cleared - another problem for another time.)

To change all the other columns back to left alignment, I "undo" my alignment. This work around has always been time-consuming but successful. Today, however, this action puts a hard return into the header - footer box on the page that I am working on back to the first page.

Does anyone have an explaination for this behavior? Or a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Nancy
