What kind of information did you try to insert? Text? A graphic? A table?
What happened when you inserted it without the text box?
Note that pasting as "Unformatted Text" might be an option; this causes the
data to adjust to the formatting already applied to the header paragraph.
To paste as unformatted text: In Word 2007, click the Home tab on the
ribbon. Click Paste, and then click Paste Special. (In Word 97-2003, use
Edit | Paste Special to display the Paste Special dialog box.) Click
"Unformatted Text," and then click OK.
