I have several documents that were created using the German version of
Office.  When I try to add a footnote, the choices of the Insert Text always
reflects German lanquage.  If I cut-n-paste into a blank document from my
English version, there is no change.  In other words, I cannot get a footer
or header choice to be displayed in english.

Help!

Have you changed the language of the entire document to English?

Ctrl+A to select the entire document, then go to Tools | Language | Set
Language and change the language of the document to English (and turn off
"Automatically detect language"). You may need to do this specifically for
the header/footer or for the Header/Footer styles.

Thank you.  Have never had to use anything in that arena before.
