In three non-consecutive pages of a 26 page document the header fields are
nearly 3x the size of those headers on the remaining pages, i would like them
to all be the same uniform size, however when attempting to drag the ruler
marker while viewing headers and footers the tabs only jump larger and when
trying to be made smaller it will fill nearly the whole page, until the
footer.
This doesn't seem consistent with section breaks or figures, just random,
it even happens the first time in the middle of my table of contents. this is
in Word 2000, any help is appreciated.

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, make sure that the vertical alignment is
set to Top and not Center.

I'm having the problem of a full page header (except for the footer area) I
can't fix. The dashed line header area covers nearly the entire page. It
changes when I change the vertical ruler but as soon as I move the cursor,
the giant header area reappears. With show paragraph marks enabled, there's
nothing in the header. I've done everything in page setup I can think of,
including checking that the alignment is vertical. I found this problem
because I inserted a table from an Excel file in landscape mode and couldn't
make the table header rows repeat. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Will somebody help?

The situation you describe would occur if your vertical alignment were set
to "Bottom" instead of "Top."
