Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce?
A mystery header is so large it is displacing text, leaving a 4 inch white
area on the page. There is no text in the header. How can I reduce it to normal dimensions? Thanks! |

Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce?
Press Ctrl+* or click the Show/Hide ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to
display nonprinting characters. Chances are you've got extra empty paragraphs (indicated by ¶) in the header. Alternatively, on the Layout tab of Page Setup, make sure that the vertical alignment is set to Top. -- Suzanne S.

Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce?
Hi LJeff73,
Click Show/hide paragraph marks in the standard toolbar to make hidden text visible. Select the -only- paragraph mark in the header and press Ctrl-Space. If that doesn't work, select the paragraph mark and choose Format | Paragraph... Reduce the spacing before or after. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

Thanks Suzanne. The information you gave fixed my problem too. It was the
vertical allignment setting also. These little items are so frustrating when you can't solve it. Thanks for taking the trouble of posting your advice.

Suzanne,
I have the same problem with Word in 2003. Where is the vertical alignment you are talking about? Every new file I open has this issue.

Looks like you didn't scroll down far enough to see the original reply. On
the Layout tab of Page Setup, choose Top under "Vertical alignment." -- Suzanne S.
