Header and Footer height and spacing from the top and bottom of a
I have a document that was created in Word 2000 and I opened it in Word 2003.
The result seemed to be identical. However, I wish to add one page of the document to a new open document (in Word 2003). I did a copy and paste of the complete page, however, the page will not fit on the page in the new document (it's the same paper size, of course). The difference seems to be in the vertical size of the header and footer (I had to add the contents of these afterwards, as they weren't included in the copy and paste). I have reduced the top and bottom page margins as much as possible, but the positions of the header and footer and their height will not reduce to be a small as those for the original document. Is there any way to force these vertical dimensions to be smaller? Thank you Gordon |

When you paste text into a header or footer, you invariably wind up with an
extra empty paragraph. This is true no matter how carefully you select all but the paragraph mark to copy and include the paragraph mark when pasting. Display nonprinting characters and you'll doubtless see this extra paragraph, which you can delete. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne - Thank you for the reply. What you have suggested was something
that I initially found, an extra paragraph mark in the header, but I had already removed this. The headers are not the same vertical size in the new and old documents. The fonts are the same. The top of the header "box" is further down from the top of the page in the new document, compared with the old and the top of the footer is higher up. This is despite the fact that the top and bottom margins are smaller for the new document than for the old. Thank you Gordon "Suzanne S.

Suzanne - That did the trick, thank you. I hadn't noticed the Header/Footer
"From Edge" setting in Page Set-up before. Gordon "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Did you change the actual header and footer margins? -- Suzanne S.
