How do I reduce the size of a Page Header?
When I open some documents, including some that I use a base templets, I have
found by viewing the Header/Footer that the Header is set to the size of the page. There is no content in the header. There is no way to reduce the size of the header. When content is more than one page, the header for the first page covers the page, the second page is the content, and a third page does not show (in page view it just runs off the bottom of the page, in Normal the content is there). How do I readjust the size of the header for a page or for the document to be just the size of the content of the header. Thanks for your help. |

A header will appear to be the size of the page if the vertical alignment of
the section is set to Bottom (on the Layout tab of Page Setup). -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thanks for the reply. I looked at the PAGE SETUP on the Header/Footer. The LAYOUT was set to TOP. I shifted it back and forth. But the problem is still there. One note that may in soloving this problem. The document body is taken up by a two cell table. This Table can, and often does extend for mulitple pages. If the Table is only one page, the VIEW HEADER/FOOTER show the head as a normal small 3 line header. But if the document goes to a second page, the head becomes a full page. Stranger yet, I toke a single page document, added several paragraph markers after the table to force a second page. The header content disappeared on pages one and two. If I removed the extra paragraph marks to bring it back to a single page, the content of the header came back. I have been working with Word since version 1, and this is one of the strangest things I have seen with HEADER/FOOTERS. "Suzanne S.

The document may be corrupt; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm. If that doesn't fix it, send me a sample, and I'll take a look. -- Suzanne S.
