Another possibility to generate the header is to use tikz with the options of remember picture, overlay,transform shape, which basically overlaps a tikz-generated header on top of the page. At the end of this message, I put the code to do that. What I am doing:
- I changed the top margin to 2.5 cm via the
geometry package to leave space for the header.
- I generated the header using
tikz and multiline nodes, since it allows for centering of the text without having to guess its position via hspace.
- I place the different nodes approximately 1cm above the text body and the line between them via the
calc library.
Do note that all of this positioning is manual. If you change the value for the top margin in the declaration of the geometry package, you will need to adjust the different sizes manually.
The text does not overlap the header because the header has been placed above the text body (!) which removes the problem that you had before. Other possibility to achieve a similar effect without having to change how to generate the header can be enveloping your header in a minipage environment with a set height, but I am not sure if this will work.
I hope it helps you!
The result is the following:
