Overnight I have come to the same opinion. Thank you for your help, you have
confirmed my own thoughts.

In that case I would suggest that your printer's paper feed is the issue.

Thanks for your response. There is no paragraph mark in either the header
or
footer. When the document is printed on single sided paper they are all
the
same size. It is only when the same document is printed double sided that
the discrepency occurs.

If you created the duplicate header by copying and pasting, you will
have
added an extra empty paragraph (no matter how carefully you select the
text
you copy and paste, this still happens). This is causing one header to
be
higher than the other. Display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) so you
can
see the paragraph mark and delete it.

I have a double sided word document with headers and footers set up as
the
same measurement. The footer style is all the same and and header
style
is
all the same. The page margins are set up the same for the whole
document.
The document is also set up as mirrored margin.
When printing the document on one side of paper all the footers and
headers
are exactly as expected. The print preview matches what I get.
When I print the document double sided the odd page headers and
footers
are
approx. 2mm higher than the even page header and footers. I have
recently
updated the print driver which is working fine.
On other documents not set up for double sided printing in the
template
they
all print fine but this document has been specifically been set up for
double
sided printing and the headers and footers have this 'glitch'.
The print preview through both Word and the printer shows that the
headers
and footers are fine.
Please can you help. I have searched many sites and have found
nothing
about this problem anywhere.
