I have created a page layout for my documentation content in which I have added a Header frame and a Body frame. I want my header to take the whole width of the page, while I want my body centered in the page with reasonnable margins on all sides.
On the page layout editor, this setup displays nicely with a header frame larger than the body frame. However, when I build my project (it's a Microsoft Word output), the Header Frame width seems to always shrink down to the exact width of the body frame, and becomes nicely centered above the body. Has anyone an idea of what is going on and how I could achieve a full width header above a smaller body content ?
Page layout header does not retain margin setup
Re: Page layout header does not retain margin setup
Unfortunately I'm not able to give you a solution but I thought I might mention that I did find the same problem when I tried outputting to a Word document...
What I did find is that Flare didn't keep any of my body or header margins; my body had big margins (small body frame) and my header had small margins (wide header frame). Flare did its own thing and resized both of them. I do wonder if they were resized to the footer..
I do know that you can use a master page for word but I tried specifying the body width using that as well as that made no difference either; it still generates the same margins.
Sorry I'm not helping but thought I'd share this so you know it's not just your computer..

Re: Page layout header does not retain margin setup
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I have partially solved the problem by using a CSS tweak: by grouping the header content in a DIV and specifying negative left margin and exact width for this div I was able to achieve the desired result (I also had to create a media for Word outputs, because Word and PDF outputs don't behave the same for this header problem).
