Headers and Footers in legal pleadings
I'm comparing some legal pleadings (with numbers running vertically on left
margin for each line, as well as a vertical line). I'm noticing that sometimes the header and the footer are both at the bottom of the page, and sometimes they aren't. Two questions: How do I make it so that the header is up top--I'm assuming it has something to do with the vertical elements being put in the header rather than the footer or vice-versa? Apart from the above problem, how do I adjust the height of the footer or the header? thanks. dc |

Headers and Footers in legal pleadings
It doesn't make sense to say that the header is at the bottom of the page.
The header is by definition at the top of the page. Are you saying that elements usually placed in the header are sometimes placed in the footer? You can put text in either the header or footer or both irrespective of what graphic elements (text box, frame, drawing lines) are anchored to the header. -- Suzanne S.

Headers and Footers in legal pleadings
Yes, I know it sounds strange, but I think I got this template off the MS
website. Here is what it is: At the bottom of the page, where you expect to see the footer, there it is: a dotted line going across the page, labeled footer And below that, at the very bottom edge of the page, is the header: a dotted line going across and labeled header. This line is usually at the top of the page but in this template it is actually below the footer at the bottom. I can send you the template if you'd like to look at it. ddc "Suzanne S.

Headers and Footers in legal pleadings
Just to report back in case anyone is still following this. In fact the
header did extend to the bottom of the page. The top margin had been set as an absolute amount (by using a setting of -1.03") and the line numbering then typed in the header itself rather than in a text box anchored to the header. This is an old, old dodge that predates text boxes and is, needless to say, quite confusing to a user today. I recommended the DeeCeeCee recreate the template along more contemporary lines (including substituting MacroButton NoMacro fields for the form fields that were being used despite the fact that the document was not intended to be a protected form). -- Suzanne S.
