It might have to do with your having any content in a first-page header
compared to a second page header.

Note there are page headers and table headers. They serve similar purposes
but are very different animals.

A table header is one or more rows at the beginning of a table that are
repeated when the table breaks over one or more pages.

It might help if we were sure which kind of header you are talking about.
Not sure what the scrolling part of your table refers to, either.

Finally, which version of Word? Word has changed its table structures in the
last few releases.

imported table from excel.
scrolls through the pages as necessary to create more pages.
header includes top part of table.

do the headers automatically move down as each page goes along? i've set
the 1st page differently so that the 2nd page would line up correctly
after
scrolling. but now, i'm onto the 3rd page and the scrolling portion of
the
table is set lower. this has seemed to be the case as the pages roll on.
how do i set it so the table starts at the same place on each page?

i guess this might not have anything to do with the header margins, but
the
table instead.
