Thanks...I did that and it deleted the text but the spacing for the headers and footers remains. Do you have any other ideas?

Hi, christyn.

To delete the header and footer in the current document:
1. Click on View | Header and Footer
2. Press Ctrl+A to select all of the text in the header, press Delete
3. Press the DownArrow key to enter the footer, press Ctrl+A and Delete
4. Close the footer.

Search for the normal.dot file on your computer (include hidden and system files and folders). The default location for this file in Windows XP is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates, but yours could be in a different place. Open normal.dot, and delete the header and footer as described above.

Thanks for any help.

Possibly you need to adjust the margins in File | Page Setup?
