Thank you for your prompt and clear reply to my query. Your instructions
worked on the document I was working on, but the next one I called up did not
retain the changes. Please advise. Thank you.

In Word 2002 and 2003, once you have ever touched the header or footer there
will be an empty paragraph there that you can't delete. The only recourse is
to change the header and footer margins to 0" (on the Layout tab of Page
Setup). If you're seeing an inordinate amount of header space, make sure the
vertical alignment of the document is set to Top and not Center (Layout tab
of Page Setup).

How do I delete empty header and footer space from my documents and get
their
space allocation back at the default setting? I've tried the recommended
strategies: eliminating paragraph marks, attempting but not succeeding at
adjusting the vertical margins/ruler. I did the Detect and Repair thing. I
still cannot get rid of the space (and there's a lot of it). Please help.
Thank you.
