6.5.9.3 Adjusting headers and footers for conversion

Headers and footers often need adjustment for conversion to Word. For example:

You might have to prepare a conversion template (see §2.4 Importing formats from a conversion template) to apply before converting your document, to make headers and footers comply with the following requirements:

If the header extends downward or the footer extends upward (often along the side edge in FrameMaker), you might find that Word forces a page break, so that there is only one line per page. In Word, the body text has to start below the lowest point in the header, and end above the highest point in the footer. When that is not possible, Word puts out a minimum of one line anyway.
