Default The bottom line of a box won't print no matter what I do!

If you're dealing in centimeters, 0.75 is probably too close to the bottom
edge. Check your printer manual for the printer's absolute limit, and the
printer properties dialog for the actual setting. Word crops the page
according to this value. It's not so critical with late-model printers, but
older inkjets could be physically damaged -- or at least get very messy --
if you printed too close to the edges.

TYhe settings I see on page setup a

top =0.5, left =1.26, bottom=0.75, right=1.25.

The rulers are gone!

I don't know how close you top margin is so that's not a clear response.
Look at your margins and/or your rulers.

How can I check that? To me that line is at the same distant to the
bottom of the page as the line on the top is to the top of the page.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The tex moves around, but the blue
box
around the text won't move a bit. I tried margin setting to zero,
and
then "fix", but only the text inside the box moved.

Print preview still shows me hte botoom line is missing.

Thanks

Ed

Hello

I am trying to do a simple thing - a box around the text - but
Wortd
refuses to print the bottom line of the box. What I did was:

a) New doc - A4
b) Format - Border and Shading
c) Page border, options - 31 pt for all. Then I chose a simple
blue
box to be inserted in the page.

When I choose preview, word shows that the bottom line of the box
won't
be printed. I tried to change page setup but word refuses to
print
the
line.

What else can I do?

Many thanks

Ed
