= SUMMARY =

When using mirror margins with unequal left and right margins, a running head that is placed directly under a division break and is formatted to display on the first page and aligned with the left margin may not print correctly on the first page in Microsoft Word version 5.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If the right margin is smaller than the left, the running head will print farther to the right than the text. This problem occurs only on the first page on which the running head appears.

If the left margin is smaller than the right, the running head will print farther to the left than the text. This problem occurs only on the first page on which the running head appears.

To work around this problem, insert a manual page break (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) directly above the division break that is above the running head. The running head will print correctly, but a blank page will precede the first page where the running head begins printing.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 5.0. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.5 (character window interface only).
