all of a sudden, header takes up half of each page
I'm using Word 2003. This is the second time that I have been typing on a
report, and without warning the headers suddenly take up almost half of each page, although they have no content. I have already learned from reading these threads that headers can't be deleted. I'm really hoping to make things normal again, and also learn what I (accidentally) did to make this happen. Thanks! |

Check that on the Layout tab of the FilePage Setup dialog that the Vertical
alignment of the page is set to Top. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Doug - thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately the vertical alignment
is already set to TOP. "adam j" wrote: I'm using Word 2003.

Two other things you could check:
Is it possible that you have added a number of empty paragraphs in the header? To check this, select View Header and Footer. Show formatting marks to make paragraphs marks visible (click the ΒΆ icon in the Standard toolbar). Delete the empty paragraphs if found (one will remain). If you do not find a series of empty paragraphs, check whether extra space has been added after the single, empty header paragraph (Format Paragraph Indents and Spacing tab Spacing After). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "adam j" wrote: Doug - thanks for the quick response.

Hi Adam

Could be something along these lines: Formatting applied to one paragraph affects the entire document (by Suzanne Barnhill) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm Word is always making changes I don't expect. How can I get more control over my formatting? (by Suzanne S. Barnhill and Dave Rado) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm Also a possibility: Something in the headers references something else in the body of the document (say, a bookmark, whose content has grown).
