Change header vertical margin for one page only

[Nick Mirro]

A manuscript I'm working on uses headers and footers. I don't want the odd
page header to appear at the beginning of each chapter, but I also don't
want to lose space caused by a blank header. Each chapter is a separate
section, and each first header is different (blank).

I cannot figure out how I can set the vertical space used by the first blank
header to zero (or close to it) without affecting all others in the section.

Ordinarily the first page of a chapter has a deeper top margin than the
rest, not shorter. I don't understand what you're trying to do.

What happens if you go into header/footer view and press:
Ctrl-A (Select All)
and
Delete?

Then close the header/footer view. Sometimes there is the residue of
something you typed in the header even though you can't see it. In my
experience, a truly blank header does not use any space.
