Go to the Layout tab of Page Setup and make sure that the vertical alignment
is set to Top, not Center.

In three non-consecutive pages of a 26 page document the header fields are
nearly 3x the size of those headers on the remaining pages, i would like
them
to all be the same uniform size, however when attempting to drag the ruler
marker while viewing headers and footers the tabs only jump larger and
when
trying to be made smaller it will fill nearly the whole page, until the
footer.
This doesn't seem consistent with section breaks or figures, just random,
it even happens the first time in the middle of my table of contents. this
is
in Word 2000, any help is appreciated.
