I got that same impression, but I am not sure why??? Since the strAddress
comes from a textbox the following code works, thanks to your suggestion.

Dim strAddress As String

Sub Header()
strAddress = "48 Main St"
strAddress = " " & strAddress
Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.CenterHeader = "&24" & strAddress
End Sub

It would seem that the second figure i.e. the address is also being
interpreted as a font size. Try using strAddress = " 48 Main Street"
(space
after the first ")
