PS/1 - Correcting "Header Too Tall" Or "Footer Too Tall" Errors In Microsoft Works

Applicable to: United States

In Microsoft Works for Windows version 2.0, the error message "Header too tall: Reduce header margin or increase top margin settings. Continue?" or "Footer Too Tall: Increase footer margin settings. Continue?" appears under one of the three following conditions:

1. Too many lines of text have been entered for the header or footer, causing it to overlap the text in the body of the document.

Solution:
Reduce the number of lines of text in the header or footer.

2. The margins have been set in a way that does not allow enough room between the header or footer and the body of the document.

Solution:
From the File menu, choose Page Setup & Margins. To correct the header, increase the top margin or decrease the header margin. To correct the footer, increase the footer margin and, if necessary, the bottom margin.

3. The font size of the header or footer is too large for the room allotted to it, causing it to overlap the text in the body of the document.

Solution:
Reduce the font size of the header or footer. If you are using header and footer paragraphs, select the text in the paragraphs and choose Font & Style from the Format menu to change the font size. To change the font size in a standard header or footer, select the paragraph mark at the end of the document before changing the font. To see the paragraph mark, you may need to choose Show All Characters from the Options menu.
