I am not sure what is meant by "turning off" header and page in a *.doc file but
if I were to try to do this outside of word I would save it in both formats and
then diff the files to see what it is that your version of word does to disable
these features. I would then try to write a script to modify the with headers
file to make it look like the one without.
My two cents.
