Default Something in header with text boxes won't let a section align vertically - sometimes

I'm an editor, so I'm working with documents that other people have created. Many of the files have a few landscape pages which need to be aligned vertically. The landscape pages have to have portrait headers and footers, which we create with text boxes. Most of the time it works just fine, but periodically I come across a page that won't align vertically. Even when I set the section to vertical alignment in Page Setup, the text stays at the top of the page.



To correct the problem, I have to create a new section and copy the text into it. I can bring in the text from the non-aligned section just fine, but I have to create a new header with new text boxes. If I copy the header text boxes, the section stops aligning correctly, so I'm guessing something in there is causing the problem. Interestingly, the problem remains even if I delete the text boxes and header.



I've seen this problem several times, and I can't figure out what specifically causes it. I would really like to know how to just fix the issue when I run across it instead of recreating my whole layout. Any ideas?
