Move a header or footer lower or higher

[Steve Williams]

Hello all

I'm using Nisus pro 2.0.4. The method of moving a header or footer higher or low described on p139-140 or your 'Nisus Pro Help' document doesn't weem to work for me. When I click in the header or footer box, I can see the blue borders but When I put the mouse pointer to the top or bottom line, it changes from a cursor to a pointer. The pointer has no effect on the line. I don't get the shape indicated in Figure 156. Am I missing something?

Thanks

I'm not quite sure if this is relevant, your heading suggests yes, but not necessarily the body of your post...

NWP 2.0.4 ignores any vertical space specified at the top of a footer line. I'm not sure why. So my kludge is to put a small blank line in the footer before the first footer text line which works to add spacing. Without it, the bottom of the page can be too close to the footer and it doesn't look right. It's a pain, but until this issue is resolved, you'll need such a workaround...
