Thanks for both those posts.
In the meantime, I found that the header 'kind of' works
like a textbox, where Multiline and WrapText are set to True .... I tabbed
to the end of the Company Logo and pressed Del until the Header was suitably
resized.
I would prefer to avoid VBA and Userforms if possible, so will explore
Controls from the Word Drawing Toolbar.
A worst case will mean recording several test macros, so as to more easily
see/explore the word Object model, before employing any controls from the
Control toolbox.
Nb: did I miss something with regard to protection of the Header's contents?
Regards and thanks.
