Word 2007 Footer Height
I want to change the amount of space allocated to the footer in Word 2007 so
that I can get more body text on a page. If I open headers and footers and click in the header, I can move the dashed blued line defining the header height by clicking in the header area and then pushing the bottom end of the white bar in the vertical ruler up or down to move the dashed blued line that defines the space allocated to the header. However, if I click in the footer I cannot move the dashed blue line up or down. If I push on the top end of the white bar in the vertical ruler the text in the footer moves up and down (not the dashed blue line defining the footer height). A clue to the problem may be that when I am in the header and hover the mouse over the top of the white bar in the vertical ruler, the words "Top Margin" appear, and if I hover over the bottom of the white bar, the words "Bottom Margin" appear. Either of those can be adjusted in the header. If I am in the footer and hover the mouse over the top of the white bar the words "Top Margin" appear, but if I hover the mouse over the bottom of the white bar (which appears to extend to the very bottom of the page) no words appear, and I cannot move the bottom of the white bar in vertical ruler (when I am in the footer). Is there some other way to adjust the height of the area reserved for the footer in Word 2007? Thanks. -- Jim (a.k.a. ORTNPALMS) |

Word 2007 Footer Height
You can change the header and footer margin on the Layout tab of Page Setup
(click the dialog launcher for Page Setup at the bottom of the Page Setup chunk of the Page Layout tab). But be aware that the header margin defines where the header starts (that is, the distance from the top of the page), not where it ends. A header can expand to accommodate whatever text it contains, pushing the document body down if necessary. The representation of the header and footer boxes is inconsistent. The header is correctly represented as spanning the distance between the header margin and the top margin, but the footer is shown spanning the distance between the bottom of the page and the top of a line of text at the footer margin. The footer, however, does expand upward just as the header expands downward. For more on headers and footers in general, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Footer Height
Thank you Suzanne. A very helpful response, as always from you.
I think there may have been a little bit of operator error on my part as well. The pages in question have a number of continuous section breaks and a next page section break at the end of each page. I now have that straigtened out and now the mouse can move the footer height up and down (as one would expect). -- Jim (a.k.a. ORTNPALMS) "Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Footer Height
Yes, when you're dealing with more than one section on a page, both Word and
operator can become confused. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Jim" wrote in message ... Thank you Suzanne.

Word 2007 Footer Height
In the Page Setup dialog box, there are "From edge" options that determine
the lowest position of the footer and the highest position of the header. The bottom and top margins (also in the Page Setup dialog box) work in conjunction with those values. See also http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/HeaderFooter.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ... How to do change Footer height position? |
