Long running headers

[Lester C. Smalley]

I've used tables in the header as well, in particular for the vertical
alignment capability.  

But there are a few cautions: 

- the table row (cell) height automatically expanding may be an issue
  depending on the available space; you have to be sure your header
  content doesn't get cut if it grows (make sure the header frame is
  tall enough)

- a table has to have an anchor paragraph in the header text frame
  that also adds vertical space; this can be overcome by setting
  BOTH the space below the anchor paragraph and the height above
  the table to the negative line spacing of the anchoring paragraph.
  E.g., if the paragraph line space value is 2 points, set the space
  below the para and space above the table to -2 points.  OR you can
  play with the size and placement of the header frame to move it 
  closer to the top paper edge.  Or both....
