Please could someone advise if it is possible to move existing text in a
document into the header? If I try and extend the header to encompass the
required text, the text ****s down the page. I also can not copy and paste
existing text into the header area

You certainly can copy text, open a header, and paste it? If not, which of
these three steps is causing the problem?

Otherwise, look into the StyleRef field.

Note, a header is not on a page or part of a page, so moving the header
margin simply increases the size of the header, as you've discovered. (A
header is designed to be on multiple pages and mostly independent of those
pages.)

Sorry, should of course read shifts down the page!
