Headers and Footers Do Not Wrap Around APOs in WinWord

ID: Q41750

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, headers and footers do not flow around absolutely positioned objects (APOs) or framed objects as main body text, footnotes, and annotations do. If you position an APO or a frame over a header or footer, the APO or frame prints over the contents of the header or footer.

Objects in the Drawing Layer of Word 6.0 act like APOs in this respect. However, they can be moved behind the text using the Send Behind Text feature.

For additional information about objects and text wrapping in headers and footers, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
