## How to increase the space for typeset headers and footers

Version: 3.x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

Use the fancyhdr package to increase the space allotted for typeset headers and footers:

1. From the Typeset menu, choose Preamble.
2. Click the mouse in the entry area.
1. Add a new line at the end of the preamble entries.
2. Type \setlength{\headheight}{x} where x is the height of the header you want.

You can use any TeX measurement unit.

4. On a new line, type \setlength{\textheight}{x} where x is the desired text height.

The text height should reflect the original text height set for the document less the amount you added to the header.

5. On a new line, type \setlength{\footskip}{x} where x is the distance from the bottom of the text to the bottom of the footer.
6. Choose OK.
