Default How do I delete empty header and footer space from my document

Thank you. I think I've now got the desired settings in place.

Note that changing the header and footer margins to 0" in Normal.dot is
really not a good idea. If you don't have anything else you need to keep in
Normal.dot, you'd do better to rename it and let Word build a fresh one (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...cNotBlank.htm). Be careful not to
touch the header or footer in Normal.dot, only in documents, and you should
be okay.

Thanks for pointing out the use of the Default button. I think the problem

is
now resolved thanks to Barnhill (see email) and you. My apologies for lack

of
specificity in my query.

It really isn't clear (to me) what you are describing, nor do you

indicate
what version of Word, but best guess 'til something better comes along

(if
Word 2003) is take a look @ FilePage SetUpLayout to make sure that

your
Header margin isn't set to something more than .5" - If this is a

problem
occurring in *new* documents as well, click the Default button to update
Normal.dot before you OK out.

Should I have misunderstood, please post back with additional

descriptive
detail.

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.
