    Removing last line in header

    hello

    I have the following code which reads a file into the header

    Dim oSec As Word.Section
    Set oSec = ActiveDocument.Sections(1)
    oSec.PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True

    oSec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.InsertFile "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\TheHeader.doc"

    but this leaves an extra line under the text inserted in the header. How do I remove that extra line in the header?

    thanks

    If that's not possible, how do I go to the end of the header using vba or a macro? So I can write the code to delete the last line.

    Thanks

    Not too sure as I haven't messed around with these.

    1) check the file you are inserting and make sure there is no last return line
    2) record a macro that deletes (backspace) one character, and after inserting the file (if you know that the cursor is in the right place) run that macro.
    3) as with (2) but tweak the macro so that it is in the header section and moves to the last part then backspaces (a little more difficult but means that the cursor on the screen doesn't have to be in the correct place).
