In three non-consecutive pages of a 26 page document the header fields are
nearly 3x the size of those headers on the remaining pages, i would like them
to all be the same uniform size, however when attempting to drag the ruler
marker while viewing headers and footers the tabs only jump larger and when
trying to be made smaller will fill nearly the whole page, until the footer.

I also have this EXACT same problem and have been trying to find an answer
for hours. I have a 60-some page document that I added a header but have
about 10 pages where the header is 3x bigger than the others. I also tried
changing it with the ruler and got the same result as you. Any help would be
wonderful.

If you can see this question, I suspect you can see answers as well. In one
of the sections with a problem header, go to the Layout tab of Page Setup
and make sure that the vertical alignment is set to Top and not Center.

Thank you Suzanne. This took care of the problem.

Thank you for this information. It helped me solve this problem. I have one
follow up question. Why is it that Word now has the default setting to
vertical alignment center. I used "detect and repair" and reset all the
defaults, but kept getting the same problem. I have to now manually change
this. Is there a glitch or a virus that my norton anti virus didnt detect?

Thanks,

Nick

Open a new Blank Document. Go to Page Setup and, without making any other
changes, change the vertical alignment to Top. Then click Default... and
answer yes when asked if you want the new settings to be the default for all
new documents. This should solve the problem. If it does not, and if you
have Acrobat 7 installed, see the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm

I'm having this problem with a landscape document with a table. I'm unable
to get the header rows to repeat and the header is larger than it should be.
I've checked the page setup on all the pages and the vertical alignment is
set to Top. The header is so large that it is just above the footer. Is
there anything else that can be done to fix this?

There is a difference between the page header and the table heading row. Are
you confusing them?

The header for the document is very large and the dotted line for the header
is just above the footer on the page (lthe line actually goes through the
word Footer). We have the first 2 rows of the table set to be the header for
the table. This is not working and in checking the page setup, the steps you
gave that worked for others is not working for this document. I can change
the vertical alignment for the header to center, bottom, justified and back
to top. The header is still extremely large and looks the same for all 4
settings. There are only 2 lines in the header. There are no extra
paragraphs below these 2 lines. Doesn't matter if its landscape or portrait,
the header takes up over 3/4 of the page.
