Help with Header/Footer size problem
Please excuss me if you have seen this post on the MS Office group
board, but I really need to figure this out. I have a document with a single table with two cells. This table will often cross two or more pages. However, resently, when we enter information that goes beyond the first page, the Header becomes the size of the page. This causes the information in the bottom of the table to lost to view/printing. As long as the table is less than a page long, the header is normal (3 lines deep). The page settings for header and document both show vertical alignment as top. Can anyone help me? |

The page settings for header and document both show vertical alignment as top. Sounds decidedly odd. Version of Word? You do mean a page header, and not a table header (first row with column labels), don't you? This is happening only in the one file? What if you Ctrl+A, then Shift+Left Arrow, Copy, and paste into a new document. Then copy just the text out of the header into the header of the new document. Does the problem persist in the new document?

The version is 2000
It is the page header NOT the table header We have done the content copy to a new doc and the header is still messed up This is a strange one indeed. I have other document that work normally. Thanks for any ideas you may have Greg |

Hi GregDC,
The version is 2000 It is the page header NOT the table header We have done the content copy to a new doc and the header is still messed up How, exactly, did you perform the "content copy"? Did you follow my instructions *exactly*, or did you just select everything, then copy/paste? If that's what you did, you just carried the problem right along...

Cindy,
Thanks for the reply. No I didn't just select everything to the new doc. Accually I copyed just some content into an empty shell document and then put in enough paragraph markers (Georgia 9pt) to cause the table to break into the second page. The results we The empty shell page header is only 5 lines deep. After the content copy, the header on the single page did not change. But when the second page was forced the page header on page one and two were then full page down to the start of the footer (which is one line with page x of y content) |

Hi GregDC,
Something is gnawing at the back of my brain; I think I've seen this before, and there was an answer. I just cannot recall what it was... Which means we have no choice but to trouble-shoot this step-by-step until we narrow down the cause. 1. If you copy the same content into a new document, but NOT header/footre stuff (don't touch header/footer at all, to begin with): Do you see the same problem if you force a new page? 2. If not, open the header footer and just type a word. Try again? 3. Now try copying in the header/footer information, as you did in your last test (described below). If the problem occurs now, then it's something you're bringing across in the header/footer.

Have we already established that the vertical alignment for the document is
set to Top and not Center or some other setting? And that the content is not rife with "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together" paragraphs? -- Suzanne S.

Yes both of these have been checked. The document is set for Top, the
keep next is not a problem. Thanks for reply, however! Greg |
