Giant header box on just one page in document
Word 2003 under Win XP
I was sent a document to edit (which included some mark-up) that had a mysterious gap on the last page (a gap followed by some text) that I was unable to delete. On checking headers/footers I discovered that the header on the last page was three-four times the size of the other headers. No section breaks in the document, and absolutely nothing I could find in the header box itself. I was able to clean up the problem by copying all of the document except the final para mark into a new document. That seemed to produce a well-behaved document. Does anyone know what this could have been? Corrupted document, perhaps? Thanks for any ideas. Tom |

In Word, click on File | Page Setup | Layout tab | Vertical
alignment: Top | Apply to: Whole document | OK.

I'm having the exact same issue!! I find that on the pages where the
header increases in size (even though there is no information in the header) is when the page it appears on includes text boxes at the top of the page. I'm wondering if that is also your problem, or if I've got something else going on. Thanks! |

No, that's not true with the document I worked on. There were no text boxes.
However, what I had was part of a larger document that has been edited and commented extensively. Perhaps that somehow got involved. Tom "Cookie" wrote in message oups.com...

Hi, thanks. I tried your fix, and it cleaned up the errant header size
immediately. Tom "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote in message ... In Word, click on File | Page Setup | Layout tab | Vertical alignment: Top | Apply to: Whole document | OK.

Did you check the vertical alignment as suggested?

Yeah, I did, and that did fix the document. I must say, though, that I'm not
sure what that is, or how it affects the size of headers. But yes, thanks, I did that. Tom "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Did you check the vertical alignment as suggested? -- Suzanne S.

When vertical alignment is set to Center, typing begins in the middle of the
page and expands up and down from there. Word gives you a clue that this will happen by increasing the apparent header size. A little lame, yes, but very distinctive (making it fairly easy to troubleshoot from a description). -- Suzanne S.
