Header and footer word question marks. about googoose HOT 4 CLOSED

if( fvis ) {
                var new_footer = thtml.find(options.footerarea)[0].outerHTML;
                thtml.find(options.footerarea).replaceWith('');
                thtml.find('table#' + options.headerfooterid + ' .f').append( 
                        GG.footerstart() + new_footer + GG.footerend());

                thtml.find('#'+options.headerfooterid+'').append('Adding random text here fixes this issue') 
                html = thtml[0].outerHTML;
            }

As shown above, fixes the problem, but really not sure what the root of this issue really is, it has something to do with the

var thtml = $(html);

which somehow modifies the HTML text using jquery, this then fails within word doc.

Above my pay grade!

            if( hvis || fvis ) {
                var thtml = $('<div>' + html + '</div>' );
                var hdrftr = $('<div id=\'' + options.headerfooterid + '\'></div>');
                hdrftr.append('<div><div class=headerArea></div><div class=footerArea></div></div>');
                thtml.append(hdrftr);
                html = thtml[0].outerHTML;

                html = GG.convert_totalpage(html);
                html = GG.convert_currentpage(html);
            }

            var thtml = $(html);
            if( hvis ) {
                var new_header = thtml.find(options.headerarea)[0].outerHTML;
                thtml.find(options.headerarea).replaceWith('');
                thtml.find('#' + options.headerfooterid + ' .h').append( 
                        GG.headerstart() + new_header + GG.headerend() );
                html = thtml[0].outerHTML;
            }
            if( fvis ) {
                var new_footer = thtml.find(options.footerarea)[0].outerHTML;
                thtml.find(options.footerarea).replaceWith('');
                thtml.find('#' + options.headerfooterid + ' .f').append( 
                        GG.footerstart() + new_footer + GG.footerend());
                html = thtml[0].outerHTML;
            }
            return html;

        }

Rather than appending random text, changing the header and footers to divs rather than tables has worked to fix the square question mark icon issue in ms word.

Yes @jondo89, it is working fine with your fix.
but one typo, we need to replace headerArea and footerArea class with h and f respectively to work perfectly

Thanks for the discussion. I've been gone from this project for a long time, but I'm going to try to actually maintain it now. I've merged your changes.
