Change the size of a header, footer, or other section on a data access page

1. Open the data access page in Design view.
   
   
2. Click the section bar of the section you want to change. Microsoft Access displays selection boxes around the perimeter of the section
   
   
3. Click a selection box. When the pointer changes to a crosshair, drag a selection box at the top or bottom of a section up or down; drag a selection box on the side left or right; or drag a selection box in the corner diagonally.

   You can drag any selection box to resize a section, but Access always adjusts a section from the bottom or the right edge. For example, if you drag the selection box at the top of a section down to reduce the section's height, Access moves the bottom edge of the section up.
