I have a requirement to save a file as a text file. This I
can do, but the header that's in the DOC doesn't port over
to the TXT file. How can I "extract" this text (via VBA if
necessary) and insert it into the TXT file?

Thanks!

You can't have headers in plain text document, so the only option is to
print to file with the generic text printer driver which will 'print' the
full document c/w formatting. You will get some odd results unless the
document is formatted to the abilities of that driver re fonts, margins etc.
