header margins...help!
imported table from excel.
scrolls through the pages as necessary to create more pages. header includes top part of table. do the headers automatically move down as each page goes along? i've set the 1st page differently so that the 2nd page would line up correctly after scrolling. but now, i'm onto the 3rd page and the scrolling portion of the table is set lower. this has seemed to be the case as the pages roll on. how do i set it so the table starts at the same place on each page? i guess this might not have anything to do with the header margins, but the table instead. |

header margins...help!
Hello-
I'm not clear on your problem, but I get the impression that you are not actually dealing with Word Headers (as in Headers & Footers). True Headers _do not_ move at all. Do you mean the captions (field names, column headings, etc.) that appear in the Excel worksheet you're copying? I also don't know what you mean by "the scrolling portion of the table". If you can be more exact with what you're copying, how you are "importing" (Word has no Import command, and there are several techniques for getting Excel content into a doc), accurate account of what the result is, as well as what version of Word/Excel, perhaps someone can offer a soluton.

header margins...help!
It might have to do with your having any content in a first-page header
compared to a second page header. Note there are page headers and table headers. They serve similar purposes but are very different animals. A table header is one or more rows at the beginning of a table that are repeated when the table breaks over one or more pages. It might help if we were sure which kind of header you are talking about. Not sure what the scrolling part of your table refers to, either. Finally, which version of Word? Word has changed its table structures in the last few releases. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

header margins...help!
ok. let me try and clarify a little better. i have a set header. yes, that
doesn't move. but the start of a new page (2nd page and on) moves lower than what i have the first page set to start at (underneath the header). i have tried the "first page different" route, but that seems to stop working after working in the document. i am working with word 2003. i guess it has nothing to do with the header or the table, but where the pages start in the layout. the rulers on the side of the page won't let me adjust (manually) the very top of the page. i'm sorry for being unclear before. but i think this describes my problem a bit better. also, pardon me for not completely knowing/using the microsoft jargon. thanks!

header margins...help!
I'm not sure what point you're at now, but here's the deal:
1. On the Layout tab of Page Setup, check the box for "Different first page." This gives you a separate First Page Header/Footer. 2. Put your letterhead (or whatever) in the First Page Header. 3. In the Header, put whatever you want on page 2 and beyond. 4. If you want the top margin effectively deeper on the first page, add space to the First Page Header; if you want the top margin greater on subsequent pages, add space to the Header. You can add space in various ways: by adding content, for example, or by adding Space After to the last paragraph. Some people recommend a table cell or text box, but this is really not necessary, since Space After will work just as well. All of this is spelled out at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thank you very much for offering, but I cannot send the document for
confidentiality reasons. I have yet to finish inputing the text, so after that it should be easier to get this thing formatted. Again, thank you! "Suzanne S.
