Header is covered up

[renee]

I imported a word document into Pub 2003. I let Publisher create the
textboxes. This is a large patient handbook that we want to put into
Publisher. Lots of the textboxes cover up the Header and some do not. Does
this mean I will have to resize every textbox or is there another way?

Is the header from Word too? Publisher does not support headers.

If you are importing from Word you have no control on how Publisher places the
text. If you copy/paste you can set your margin to below the Header. You will
have to design the header in Publisher manually. Create your first text box,
paste.

The header was created in Publisher Master Page. I set the Master Page up
with Header and Footer. I drew a textbox. Then I went to File import from a
Word document. I said yes to let Publisher create the additional textboxes
needed. However, the boxes are all different sizes and it is going to take a
while to resize each one of them. Is there a way to set a default textbox?

Not when you import a Word document. Publisher imports the document and creates
text boxes, it matters not how the document is setup in Word. You cannot control
this. You can control the text box size if you copy/paste.

If you are pasting the text, then set your margins for however size you want the
text box to be, all the new text boxes Publisher creates will be the same size.
Disregard the header/footer, leave them outside the margin. When you complete
the paste, you can reset the margins.
