Horizontal Lines in Headers/Footers
I have headers and footers with horizontal lines, and the one in the footer
(top of footer) is longer than the one in the header (bottom of footer). Both are supposed to be the same length and every setting I can find in the "borders and shading" is identical. The only thing I could think it might be is that the header somehow begins before the margins are set, but I don't know how that would be and I have checked everywhere I can to be sure the margins are OK. If I change the margins, the lines change, but are still unequal. Any ideas on where to attack this? -- The Archive for the France Stays in the War project: France Fights On! http://www.francefightson.org |

The setting you should look at is not "margins" but the paragraph indents.
The length of a paragraph border is determined by the combination of the margins and the indents -- but the margins are the same throughout any single section, including that section's headers and footers. However, the indents can be different between the two areas (or, in fact, from one paragraph to the next). First look at the paragraph formatting that's set for the Header style and the Footer style. If they're the same, then right-click in a header paragraph and look at its direct (non-style) paragraph formatting, and then do the same in a footer paragraph. Check the values of the left and right indents. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Nothing to do with margins, per se. If it's a border, what counts is the
paragraph indents. Make sure that neither of the paragraphs has an indent of any kind (positive or negative). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Jay and Suzanne.
The indents did it -- in the header, by 0.25 inch, with the . . . . I still don't know how it happened but at least now I know where to look.
