WP document with two columns of data generated with Tabs. These columns of
data appear in the right half of the page. Word imports the file and places
the two columns of data into word columns using a margin adjustment to
position the two columns on the right side of the page. There are section
breaks (continuous) before and after the two column area to leave and return
to a single column with the full-page margins. If the two column area crosses
page boundaries, the header and footer on the second page utilizes the column
margin not the full page one. How can I set the header/footer margin to full
width without affecting the cross page column margin?

Sorry for the second post. Got a "server error" on the first one and message
said to send again later...so I did!

You're not the only one. There are multiple posts all over the NGs lately
because *everybody* is getting these error messages (erroneously).

You could change the indents for paragraphs in the header so the positions
match the main header and footer. Or try putting the two columns into a table
(which, if necessary, could be given a negative indent) and retain the
margins of the main document.
