The header has 2 lines of text and then there is a paragraph marker on the
3rd line. When you look at the doc in print layout, the table starts
immediately at the top of the page with no blank lines before it. I did have
the nonprinting characters turned on but had not used the text boundaries
before. When I turn the text boundaries on, I see the lines for the
header/footer where the header almost touches the footer. I also see dotted
lines down the left and right sides of the table, which are in slightly from
the edges. The lines at the top and bottom of the table match the lines of
the table. The issue seems to be with the table. I can setup a new document
and put in the header and footer. All looks fine. When I copy the table
over, then the header expands and almost touches the footer.
I tried the open and repair but word didn't find anything wrong with the
document. I'll go through the link you provided. I also have an office
recovery program that I can use. I use this as a last resort as it strips
out all formatting and takes it back to plain text and people aren't too
happy when they have to reformat their documents.

Does the header have any Spacing After? A table or text box? Anything that
would push the top margin down? (It's much easier to determine these things
if you display nonprinting characters and text boundaries.) If not, there's
a good chance the document is corrupt. See

The header for the document is very large and the dotted line for the
header
is just above the footer on the page (lthe line actually goes through the
word Footer). We have the first 2 rows of the table set to be the header
for
the table. This is not working and in checking the page setup, the steps
you
gave that worked for others is not working for this document. I can
change
the vertical alignment for the header to center, bottom, justified and
back
to top. The header is still extremely large and looks the same for all 4
settings. There are only 2 lines in the header. There are no extra
paragraphs below these 2 lines. Doesn't matter if its landscape or
portrait,
the header takes up over 3/4 of the page.

There is a difference between the page header and the table heading row.
Are
you confusing them?

I'm having this problem with a landscape document with a table. I'm
unable
to get the header rows to repeat and the header is larger than it
should
be.
I've checked the page setup on all the pages and the vertical
alignment is
set to Top. The header is so large that it is just above the footer.
Is
there anything else that can be done to fix this?

If you can see this question, I suspect you can see answers as well.
In
one
of the sections with a problem header, go to the Layout tab of Page
Setup
and make sure that the vertical alignment is set to Top and not
Center.

I also have this EXACT same problem and have been trying to find
an
answer
for hours. I have a 60-some page document that I added a header
but
have
about 10 pages where the header is 3x bigger than the others. I
also
tried
changing it with the ruler and got the same result as you. Any
help
would
be
wonderful.

In three non-consecutive pages of a 26 page document the header

nearly 3x the size of those headers on the remaining pages, i

them
to all be the same uniform size, however when attempting to drag

larger
and
when
trying to be made smaller will fill nearly the whole page, until
the
footer.
