header and body overlap

H

Hi.

Is it possible to create a page where the header and body
text can overlap? I don't want the header to push the body
text down on the page, I want it to simply overlap. (Long
template story filled with issues behind the question.)

Any help is much appreciated!

You can anchor graphics in the header that are bigger than the header
itself, and set them to "behind text," which is effectively overlapping. Is
that what you need?

Set the top margin to the NEGATIVE of the value you want. The body will then
start at that absolute position, regardless of the header. Eg, set the top
margin to -20mm: the body will be 20mm from the top of the page, over the
top of the header if need be.
