SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you create a header using a large point size, the header does not display completely in page layout view, and it does not print completely.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Open a new document. From the View menu, choose Page Layout.

  2. From the tool bar, select a font that can be scaled to a large point size (for example, CG Times or Modern). Leave the point size at 10 or 12 points.

  3. Type the word "test" (without the quotation marks), and press RETURN.

  4. Press the F4 key four times to repeat the word.

  5. Select the text, and change the point size on the tool bar to 127 points.

Only two lines of the header are visible. From the View menu, choose Normal. From the View menu, choose Header/Footer, select Header, and choose the OK button. Now the complete text of the header is visible; however, when you print the document, only a portion of the header prints because Word for Windows does not allow a header to be larger than one-half of a document page.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
