Good point. If you have enabled "Different first page" and/or "Different odd
and even," the headers will remain even in a one-page document or section
(and "Different odd and even" is a document setting, unlike "Different first
page," which can be turned on or off for specific sections).

The conditions under which Word leaves/forces an empty paragraph in a
header are complex (read: I don't really understand them g). Sometimes,
I think, you can have content in a non-visible header or footer that
affects visible, otherwise empty, ones.

There are some versions in which an empty header definitely exists, from
the standpoint that it interferes with label formatting. When there is
"no header" then the top margin setting prevails. If there's an empty
paragraph in the header, the header margin prevails. The header margin
can be set to 0", but unless you do this in Normal.dot (which you
wouldn't ordinarily want to do), then there's no way to "fix" labels
except to use the New Document option and change the setting on the
resulting doc.

It's a moot point as to whether or not an empty Header 'exists'.

From an ordinary user perspective deleting the content has the effect of
(at least appearing to) delete the header.

On the other hand, the Word object model does always have three header
objects per section but ... they do have a somewhat paradoxical Exists
property.

Methinks you are being a little harsh on the poster.

My document is taking forever to "repaginate" on scroll (In Print
Layout View, and this is where I want to work) and I have isolated
the problem to the headers where I have inserted fields linking to
Custom Document Properties. When I delete the header, the document
scrolls without visible repagination. When I reinsert the header,
the
document takes forever to "repaginate" on scroll. If I paste the
header into the actual document on a number of pages, it scrolls OK.

Is there something I am missing in my Custom Document Properties or
when linking Fields? Any suggestions, please!!!! (This post is a
follow-on from my post titled "Background Repagination".)
