Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce? LJeff73 24.02.2006 14:57:29 A mystery header is so large it is displacing text, leaving a 4 inch white area on the page. There is no text in the header. How can I reduce it to normal dimensions? Thanks!

Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 24.02.2006 15:03:50 Press Ctrl+* or click the Show/Hide ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to display nonprinting characters. Chances are you've got extra empty paragraphs (indicated by ¶) in the header. Alternatively, on the Layout tab of Page Setup, make sure that the vertical alignment is set to Top. -- Suzanne S.

RE: Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce? Cooz 24.02.2006 15:21:26 Hi LJeff73, Click Show/hide paragraph marks in the standard toolbar to make hidden text visible. Select the -only- paragraph mark in the header and press Ctrl-Space. If that doesn't work, select the paragraph mark and choose Format | Paragraph... Reduce the spacing before or after. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

Re: Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce? JEDDC 01.06.2006 13:57:02 Thanks Suzanne. The information you gave fixed my problem too. It was the vertical allignment setting also. These little items are so frustrating when you can't solve it. Thanks for taking the trouble of posting your advice.

Re: Header size reduction with no text -- how to reduce? Carla 16.08.2006 15:05:01 Another big thanks for the info Suzanne. This problem was driving me crazy.
