I tried Stefan's method in one section, and it worked. I went into the
header, then selected Format Paragraph, and under "Indentation", I typed in
-1 and it worked; then tried -.5, and that worked, too.
I think the margin markers are the facing triangular shapes, but I'm not
sure I know what the "indent markers" on the ruler are. What do they look
like?

P.S. I read a number of your posts on the discussion groups about headers
and footers, and found them enlightening. It's great that individuals such
as yourself share your knowledge with those of us are abysmally ignorant of
Word's intricacies (and basics).

As Stefan says, you do this with negative indents. You can do this on the
ruler; just be sure you're grabbing the indent markers rather than the
margin markers.

In a section, I want to widen the Header area horizontally
(left-to-right),
without widening the text area in the main body of the document. Is there
a
way to do this?
From within the Header, I tried grabbing the triangular-shaped guide (or
whatever it's called) on the ruler, but doing so widened the text area as
well.
