Just to report back in case anyone is still following this. In fact the
header did extend to the bottom of the page. The top margin had been set as
an absolute amount (by using a setting of -1.03") and the line numbering
then typed in the header itself rather than in a text box anchored to the
header. This is an old, old dodge that predates text boxes and is, needless
to say, quite confusing to a user today. I recommended the DeeCeeCee
recreate the template along more contemporary lines (including substituting
MacroButton NoMacro fields for the form fields that were being used despite
the fact that the document was not intended to be a protected form).

Yes, I know it sounds strange, but I think I got this template off the MS
website. Here is what it is:
At the bottom of the page, where you expect to see the footer, there it
is:
a dotted line going across the page, labeled footer
And below that, at the very bottom edge of the page, is the header: a
dotted
line going across and labeled header. This line is usually at the top of
the
page but in this template it is actually below the footer at the bottom. I
can send you the template if you'd like to look at it.

The header is by definition at the top of the page. Are you saying that
elements usually placed in the header are sometimes placed in the
footer?
You can put text in either the header or footer or both irrespective of
what
graphic elements (text box, frame, drawing lines) are anchored to the
header.

I'm comparing some legal pleadings (with numbers running vertically on
left
margin for each line, as well as a vertical line). I'm noticing that
sometimes the header and the footer are both at the bottom of the
page,
and
sometimes they aren't. Two questions:
How do I make it so that the header is up top--I'm assuming it has
something
to do with the vertical elements being put in the header rather than
the
footer or vice-versa?
Apart from the above problem, how do I adjust the height of the footer
or
the header? thanks.
