Custom Document Properties
My document is taking forever to "repaginate" on scroll (In Print Layout
View, and this is where I want to work) and I have isolated the problem to the headers where I have inserted fields linking to Custom Document Properties. When I delete the header, the document scrolls without visible repagination. When I reinsert the header, the document takes forever to "repaginate" on scroll. If I paste the header into the actual document on a number of pages, it scrolls OK. Is there something I am missing in my Custom Document Properties or when linking Fields? Any suggestions, please!!!! (This post is a follow-on from my post titled "Background Repagination".) -- Carol "CarolsXJ900" wrote: I am working in Word 2003 -- Carol |

Custom Document Properties
There are occasional issues of this nature when one has objects in headers
or footers, usually tables and frames, that seem to be clashing for the same space on the page. Do you have anything, page numbers perhaps, outside your table? If so, try making the table a little narrower, or slightly adjusting the position of one or more objects. -- Enjoy, Tony "CarolsXJ900" wrote in message ...

Custom Document Properties
I don't have anything outside the table, but your comments got me to look at
the two graphics I have in the header (which were inherited). When I removed one, the pages scrolled perfectly. I have redone it (without its frame) and the document is working. Thank you so much - I have spent two days trying to get this to work properly. -- Carol "Tony Jollans" wrote: There are occasional issues of this nature when one has objects in headers or footers, usually tables and frames, that seem to be clashing for the same space on the page.

"Infinite" or "continuous" repagination is often the result of a graphic
anchored inside a table in the header, IIRC. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "CarolsXJ900" wrote in message ...

Custom Document Properties
It's a moot point as to whether or not an empty Header 'exists'.
From an ordinary user perspective deleting the content has the effect of (at least appearing to) delete the header. On the other hand, the Word object model does always have three header objects per section but ... they do have a somewhat paradoxical Exists property. Methinks you are being a little harsh on the poster. -- Enjoy, Tony "grammatim" wrote in message ... I think she should tell us how she found a way to delete a header!!

Custom Document Properties
There are some versions in which an empty header definitely exists, from the
standpoint that it interferes with label formatting. When there is "no header" then the top margin setting prevails. If there's an empty paragraph in the header, the header margin prevails. The header margin can be set to 0", but unless you do this in Normal.dot (which you wouldn't ordinarily want to do), then there's no way to "fix" labels except to use the New Document option and change the setting on the resulting doc. -- Suzanne S.

Custom Document Properties
The conditions under which Word leaves/forces an empty paragraph in a header
are complex (read: I don't really understand them g). Sometimes, I think, you can have content in a non-visible header or footer that affects visible, otherwise empty, ones. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Good point. If you have enabled "Different first page" and/or "Different odd
and even," the headers will remain even in a one-page document or section (and "Different odd and even" is a document setting, unlike "Different first page," which can be turned on or off for specific sections). -- Suzanne S.

No, 'cause it takes up space. If you had a header and don't want it
any more, after you delete everything that was in it, you still have to go back to Page Setup to be sure it won't encroach on your text area.

Sometimes that may be true. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I don't
completely understand why, and under what conditions, Word sometimes maintains a paragraph mark in an otherwise empty header; there are many factors at play. When someone says they have deleted a header, however, although it might be worth asking them to double check that they have completely deleted it, that isn't really what you did and, as I said, what exactly existence means to a header (or, indeed, to any of us g) is a debate that could go on for a long time. -- Enjoy, Tony "grammatim" wrote in message ...
