Yes, manual page breaks can certainly be the culprit here. On the
Compatibility tab of Tools | Options, check the option to
"Suppress
Space Before after a hard page or column break." That should fix
the
problem.
Note that if a certain style should always start on a new page,
instead of using manual page breaks, you can set its Spacing
Before to
zero and then enable the "Page break before" option.

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

Clarification: Not only spacing after, but also spacing
before,
could
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!
