SYMPTOMS
When the Margin (in the Page Setup dialog box) and From Edge (in the Header/Footer dialog box) values are the same, under some circumstances Word For Windows will cut off or misplace the header in a document.

WORKAROUND
If you change the value in From Edge in the Header/Footer dialog box to a different value than the Margin setting, everything works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Create a new document based on the Normal template.
 * 2) From the View menu, choose Page Layout.
 * 3) Type &quot;This is body text&quot; at the insertion point in the body.
 * 4) From the Format menu, choose Page Setup; set Top and Bottom margins to 1 inch and choose the OK button.
 * 5) From the View menu, choose Header/Footer.
 * 6) Select the Different First Page check box.
 * 7) Under From Edge, set Header and Footer to 1 inch.
 * 8) Under Header/Footer, select Header, and choose the OK button.
 * 9) Type &quot;This is line one.&quot; Press ENTER.
 * 10) Type &quot;This is line two.&quot; Press ENTER.
 * 11) Type &quot;This is line three.&quot;
 * 12) From the Edit menu, choose Select All to highlight the paragraphs in the header.
 * 13) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph, and specify 1 line in the Spacing Before box. Choose the OK button.
 * 14) Place the insertion point in the body of the text after &quot;This is body text.&quot;
 * 15) From the Insert menu, choose Break, select Page Break, and choose the OK button.
 * 16) Type &quot;This is page two.&quot;
 * 17) From the View menu, choose Header/Footer.
 * 18) Under Header/Footer box, select Footer, and choose the OK button.
 * 19) Type &quot;This is the footer.&quot;
 * 20) Press CTRL+HOME to go to the start of document.

Notice the third line has disappeared. It will not print, or it will print in the body text.
