ah that pesky Adobe Acrobat. Thank you. I would never have known.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
