Different formatting on alternate pages
I have a long document that has a header on each page (no footers). Alternate pages have a larger gap between the header and the first line of text. The headers are all the same style, the following text is all the same style. I have used reveal formatting and compared the headers and the text - it says there are no differences, yet still my problem is present. Please can anyone suggest anything else I can check? Thanks in advance for any help! (I'm using Word200) |

Press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to display nonprinting
marks. Is there an extra paragraph mark (¶) in one of the headers? If so, delete it. You may also want to verify that no Spacing After (Format | Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab) has been added to the header paragraph(s). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JackieTPA" wrote in message ...

Clarification: Not only spacing after, but also spacing before, could
push down the header contents, and decrease the space for the body text. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Thanks Stefan
Unfortunately I'd already tried those - there are no extra para marks and the before and after para spacing are exactly the same. Do you have any other ideas please?

Is there something more in one of the headers, such as a graphic, text
box, or frame? You could display text boundaries (on the View tab of Tools | Options); that'll make it easier to tell. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JackieTPA" wrote in message ...

Ah now then, we may be on to something...
No, there is no difference in the headers but displaying text boundaries enabled me to see that the problem is with the positioning of the text following the header. The text starts lower down the page on some pages - these pages are preceded by a manual page break (coincidentally alternate pages it seems) rather than an automatic page break. Could this be it do you think? Cheers again! "Stefan Blom" wrote: Is there something more in one of the headers, such as a graphic, text box, or frame?

Yes, manual page breaks can certainly be the culprit here. On the
Compatibility tab of Tools | Options, check the option to "Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break." That should fix the problem. Note that if a certain style should always start on a new page, instead of using manual page breaks, you can set its Spacing Before to zero and then enable the "Page break before" option. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JackieTPA" wrote in message ...
