Ah now then, we may be on to something...

No, there is no difference in the headers but displaying text boundaries
enabled me to see that the problem is with the positioning of the text
following the header.

The text starts lower down the page on some pages - these pages are preceded
by a manual page break (coincidentally alternate pages it seems) rather than
an automatic page break.

Could this be it do you think?

Cheers again!

Is there something more in one of the headers, such as a graphic, text
box, or frame? You could display text boundaries (on the View tab of
Tools | Options); that'll make it easier to tell.

Thanks Stefan

Unfortunately I'd already tried those - there are no extra para
marks and
the before and after para spacing are exactly the same.

Do you have any other ideas please?

Cheers, Jackie

push down the header contents, and decrease the space for the body
text.

Press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to display
nonprinting
marks. Is there an extra paragraph mark (¶) in one of the
headers?
If
so, delete it.

You may also want to verify that no Spacing After (Format |
Paragraph,
Indents and Spacing tab) has been added to the header
paragraph(s).

I have a long document that has a header on each page (no
footers).
Alternate pages have a larger gap between the header and the
first
line of
text.

The headers are all the same style, the following text is all
the
same style.

I have used reveal formatting and compared the headers and the
text - it
says there are no differences, yet still my problem is
present.

Please can anyone suggest anything else I can check?

Thanks in advance for any help!
