Disparate Header Field size
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 will fill nearly the whole page, until the footer. |

I also have this EXACT same problem and have been trying to find an answer
for hours. I have a 60-some page document that I added a header but have about 10 pages where the header is 3x bigger than the others. I also tried changing it with the ruler and got the same result as you. Any help would be wonderful.

If you can see this question, I suspect you can see answers as well. In one
of the sections with a problem header, go to the Layout tab of Page Setup and make sure that the vertical alignment is set to Top and not Center. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you for this information. It helped me solve this problem. I have one
follow up question. Why is it that Word now has the default setting to vertical alignment center. I used "detect and repair" and reset all the defaults, but kept getting the same problem. I have to now manually change this. Is there a glitch or a virus that my norton anti virus didnt detect? Thanks, Nick "Suzanne S.

Open a new Blank Document. Go to Page Setup and, without making any other
changes, change the vertical alignment to Top. Then click Default... and answer yes when asked if you want the new settings to be the default for all new documents. This should solve the problem. If it does not, and if you have Acrobat 7 installed, see the last section of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm -- Suzanne S.

I'm having this problem with a landscape document with a table. I'm unable
to get the header rows to repeat and the header is larger than it should be. I've checked the page setup on all the pages and the vertical alignment is set to Top. The header is so large that it is just above the footer. Is there anything else that can be done to fix this? Ellen "Suzanne S.

There is a difference between the page header and the table heading row. Are
you confusing them? -- Suzanne S.

The header for the document is very large and the dotted line for the header
is just above the footer on the page (lthe line actually goes through the word Footer). We have the first 2 rows of the table set to be the header for the table. This is not working and in checking the page setup, the steps you gave that worked for others is not working for this document. I can change the vertical alignment for the header to center, bottom, justified and back to top. The header is still extremely large and looks the same for all 4 settings. There are only 2 lines in the header. There are no extra paragraphs below these 2 lines. Doesn't matter if its landscape or portrait, the header takes up over 3/4 of the page. "Suzanne S.

Does the header have any Spacing After? A table or text box? Anything that
would push the top margin down? (It's much easier to determine these things if you display nonprinting characters and text boundaries.) If not, there's a good chance the document is corrupt.

The header has 2 lines of text and then there is a paragraph marker on the
3rd line. When you look at the doc in print layout, the table starts immediately at the top of the page with no blank lines before it. I did have the nonprinting characters turned on but had not used the text boundaries before. When I turn the text boundaries on, I see the lines for the header/footer where the header almost touches the footer. I also see dotted lines down the left and right sides of the table, which are in slightly from the edges. The lines at the top and bottom of the table match the lines of the table. The issue seems to be with the table. I can setup a new document and put in the header and footer. All looks fine. When I copy the table over, then the header expands and almost touches the footer. I tried the open and repair but word didn't find anything wrong with the document. I'll go through the link you provided. I also have an office recovery program that I can use. I use this as a last resort as it strips out all formatting and takes it back to plain text and people aren't too happy when they have to reformat their documents. "Suzanne S.

Perhaps the table is wrapped and floating in the center of the page? I'd
offer to look at the document, but I'm leaving town in just a few minutes and won't be back till October. -- Suzanne S.
