    With ActiveDocument.masterPages(1)
    With .Header
        .TextRange.Text = "Windows" & Chr(13) & "Office" & Chr(13) & "Internet Explorer"
        With .TextRange.ParagraphFormat
            .SetListType Value:=pbListTypeBullet, BulletText:="*"
            .Alignment = pbParagraphAlignmentLeft
        End With
    End With
    With .Footer
        .TextRange.Hyperlinks.Add Text:=.TextRange, _
            Address:="http://www.tailspintoys.com", _
