Headers

[BobF]

I am using Word 2007. When creating a new page layout I can insert a header
from the gallery, (WORD BUILDING BLOCK HEADER), which automatically resizes
to fit the page width when I create a new section and rotate it from portrait
to landscape. However, when I create a custom header and save it to the
Quick Parts Gallery in the "Header" group, this custom header will not resize
automatically to fit a rotated sheet. Is there a way to do this. The colors
of the built in header offered by WORD do not match what I need.

If you use a table for your header, and make sure that the table columns
have percentage widths, then it will resize. See if that does what you want.

Use the alignment tabs (header & footer tools > position group) to align
content relative to the margins.

Good point. I keep forgetting about the alignment tabs. Of course, they
require the Word 2007 file format and they aren't backwards compatible.

True, though the OP said he was working in W0227. Still, I guess I was
trying to explain (unfortunately in a not very straightforward way) why the
building blocks headers and footers behave the way they do.
