fixing page margins/header size

In a master document i have, the header for one section is huge (7cm) and it
will not allow me to reduce its size by using the vertical ruler at the side.
I have tried changing the size by using page setup and choosing specific top
and bottom page margins but with no luck, as every time i close the header,
nothing changes and on opeing page setup, the top and bottom margins have
automatically changed from the ones i set.

Is there any way to fix these page margins or to change the size of the
header.

This problem only occurs in one section of the document, but a carriage
return is present in all the headers which has also mysteriously appeared by
itself

Thanks
Eleanor

Make sure that File | Page Setup, Layout tab, vertical alignment is set to
Top.

To fix the top margin, click on File | Page Setup | Layout | Vertical
alignment: Top | Apply to: Whole document | OK. If the ¶ button on the
Standard toolbar near the top of your screen appears highlighted, click it to
turn it off; if it is already off, click on Tools | Options | View | uncheck
the "Paragraph marks" box | OK.
