I am currently having trouble in resizing a header. I orginally had a header
that was its standard size, 1/2 inch; however, the header is now about 4 inches. The beginning of all my documents are at the middle of the page. I checked Microsoft Office Help and I could not find anything. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |

Resizing Header in Microsoft Word
To resize your header in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
If your header is still not resizing properly, check if there are any settings in your document that are affecting the header size. For example, you may have set a different margin size or page orientation that is causing the header to appear larger than normal. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask. PHP Code:

Toggle non-printing characters on (Ctrl+Shift+8) and see if there are
paragraph marks in the header that are making it arbitrarily tall. If not, then choose File - Page Setup - Margins tab (assuming you're using Word 2003 or earlier), and see if the Top Margin is set to something above 1". In the Layout tab, make sure the From edge: settings for the Header are set to .5". -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Anni" wrote in message ...

Hello Anni,
If you check in File\Page Setup, under the Layout tab, what is the setting form the edge for the Header? If 4", change it to your original setting. -- Brian McCaffery "Anni" wrote: I am currently having trouble in resizing a header.

Thanks guys for the suggestions; however, I have already checked the margins
and they are all the default margin sizes. I also checked the non-printing characters and there are no paragraph marks above the 4-inch mark on the page. When I view the header the box, the header is 4 inches in height. Any thoughts?

Are you using the normal.dot, or a custom template?

Did you check your vertical alignment and make sure that it is set to Top?
