Dear all,

I am trying to move a longtable on the first page of my document up, to
align with the header on subsequent pages (created using fancyhdr). Yet
the vspace{-2cm} or vspace*{-2cm} do not seem to have an effect! I have
read items in the comp.text.tex archive and have the impression that
vspace is indeed nontrivial to use at the top of a page -- yet could
not figure out a solution to my problem. Below is my preamble and a
representative longtable. Any help or comment is appreciated! Thanks.

\vspace* works in most cases, but longtable has a quite complicated
output so it breaks here. I guess the easiest would be to temporarly
change the headsep to move the tabular.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{longtable,fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{test}

\begin{document}
test

\newpage
\addtolength{\headsep}{-3cm}
\enlargethispage{3cm}
\begin{longtable}{p{0.22\textwidth}p{0.73\textwidth}}
next line & next line\\
\end{longtable}


\newpage
\addtolength{\headsep}{3cm}
test

\end{document}
