Guess I'll answer my own question. This was getting rather annoying because
even when I changed the body text to left aligned the header would left
align.
GRR-RR-RRR-RRRRRR! In Format/Style, I clicked on Header/Modify and removed
the check mark from "Automatically update". Why that was checked, I don't
know, but it seems to have done the trick. Connie Martin

Word can do some fierce and wonderful things! I suppose there's a reason for
it all, but this one I can't figure out. I have text in a header, right
aligned, font size 8. I closed the header and typed text at the top of the
page, right aligned, and font size 14. The header font changed to 14 as
well. If I move the text to left-aligned, the header moves to left, as well.
What gives???
