Ouch no!
This is an occasion where it is far better to learn about Range
objects, and manipulate the ranges of the headers & footers directly.
You can insert & delete stuff in any Range (and each header & footer
is a Range) without having to go into header & footer view. You can do
almost anything with a Range object variable that you can do with the
Selection, with the added advantage that it is usually quicker (the
screen doesn't flicker about so) and you can define as many ranges as
you want, while you can only have one Selection.
The following article has some good sample code describing how to use ranges
