I always work with NPC displayed, which takes some of the mystery out of the
situation, but it is still a puzzle (and annoyance) to me why Word insists
on inserting an extra paragraph even if you very carefully select the text
*without* the paragraph mark in one header/footer and very carefully paste
it *including* the paragraph mark in the other.

Even though the Footer style may be based on the Header style, that

guarantee that it's identical. Also, if you pasted text into the footer,
you
likely have an extra, empty paragraph. Display nonprinting characters to
help with troubleshooting.

Can anyone tell me why, when I print a page, my footer is 1 cm bigger
than
my
header even though the footer is 'based on' the header (achieved in
stylesformatting) AND in page set up the measurements are set the
same:

top margin: 2.5 cm
bottom margin: 2.5 cm
Header: 1.25 cm
Footer: 1.25 cm

I'm a bit baffled...
