The Collapsing Header - Word 2007
I have an 8 page MS Word 2007 document. One Header is used throughout the
doc. The header has 5 lines; line 1 & 2 have a font size of 20, line 3 is a blank line with the font size set to 12, line 4 is an automatically updated date & time with a font size of 14, and finally line 5 has text to the left and the page numbering to the right with a font size of 14. While I am typing in my document, the header collapses so I can only see a small part of the first line but the rest of the header lines are visable. When the header collapses like thsi, all mt text in the document moves up 2 or 3 lines thus making it a pain to judge how much text to put on the page. I have to double click in the header to make it appear in full again, and then double click in my document to see where my last text line actually is on the document. How do I stop the header from collapsing while I'm typing my document? |

The Collapsing Header - Word 2007
This should *not* be happening. Even if your top margin is too small to
accommodate the header, the header should be pushing the top margin down. What are your settings for the top and header margins? Is either of them a negative setting? Does the document display correctly in Print Preview? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "PaseoDave" wrote in message ...

My header is set at 0.5" from top and it is 1.5" high which accomodates the 5
lines. The complete document does display properly in Print Preview. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This should *not* be happening.

The Collapsing Header - Word 2007
So...........??? Anybody??????
I know "this should *not* be happening" that's why I posted on here. How can I stop this from happening? It's a real pain in the butt because if I'm not real careful and pay attention to the Collapsing Header, I end up printing pages with only 2 lines on them. "Suzanne S.

The Collapsing Header - Word 2007
Nope, I set the top margin to 2" and the Header still collapses. And it seems
to do it at random. ie: it's not when I save, print, insert a picture, etc. It even does it if I leave the document open in the background and work on something else.... when I go back to the document, the Header has Collapsed again.

The Collapsing Header - Word 2007
New development - the header collapses right after the file is saved with the
systems Auto Save function. I currently have my Auto Save set to "10 minutes". I'm going to turn off the Auto Save and see if the header still collapses. "Suzanne S.

Whatever is causing this, it is *not* normal, which suggests that there may
be some document corruption. As a start, try using Open and Repair to open the document. If that doesn't help, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Suzanne S.

I turned off the function and every thing is fine with it off. If I turn
"Save AutoRecover" on, the Header Collapses right after an Auto Save. Could it have something to do with the "Last saved date and time" being in the header? "Suzanne S.

I'm not sure why the header collapses when AutoRecovery does it's AutoSave,
but that is what's happening. I sat and watched it happen. I tried the "Hide White Space" option already.... it works but I don't like it. Besides, why should the problem just be ignored? "Suzanne S.

Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "PaseoDave" wrote in message ... I have an 8 page MS Word 2007 document. One Header is used throughout the doc. The header has 5 lines; line 1 & 2 have a font size of 20, line 3 is a blank line with the font size set to 12, line 4 is an automatically updated date & time with a font size of 14, and finally line 5 has text to the left and the page numbering to the right with a font size of 14. While I am typing in my document, the header collapses so I can only see a small part of the first line but the rest of the header lines are visable. When the header collapses like thsi, all mt text in the document moves up 2 or 3 lines thus making it a pain to judge how much text to put on the page. I have to double click in the header to make it appear in full again, and then double click in my document to see where my last text line actually is on the document. How do I stop the header from collapsing while I'm typing my document? |
