MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / December 2003Changing margins
I have a template with header and footer on all pages, different first page. The first page header is MUCH bigger than the rest of the document, and my text in the second column runs into the header on the first page. The whole point of this template is to not have to mess with formatting stuff while I'm writing a test, so I don't want to have to enter a line (or two or three) to get my questions out of the header on the first page. (Not to mention that then it never ends up in the correct place.) Please help! This should not be happening; I don't see how it could, really. Are your columns ordinary newspaper-style (snaking) columns or are there text boxes involved? How is the header created? Does it involve objects in the drawing layer? If so, you may just need to change the wrapping on them. -- Suzanne S.

The header was created by typing in the header area. I also added two lines, one above and one below the text in the header. I changed the wrap on the bottom line to "tight" instead of "in front of text." That helped some, but the top line of my second column still looks partially hidden. By what I can't tell. >-----Original Message----- >This should not be happening; I don't see how it could, really. Are your [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >. I changed the paragraph formatting of my text and that fixed the problem. Apparently, the third level of my outline (the choices for multiple choice questions) was changed from "Single space" to "Exactly 8". This was messing things up. THank you for your help! >-----Original Message----- >The columns are what Word sets up when you tell it to make [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >> >. Glad you got it figured out, but I'll make one other suggestion: instead of using drawing lines in your header (as you seem to have done), why not use Word's Format | Borders and Shading command to add borders to the top and bottom? In recent versions of Word, borders can have much the same formatting as graphic lines (colors, weights, patterns, etc.). -- Suzanne S.
