Despite reading the article very carefully, it seems that word won't
print the bottom line. So I want to start from scratch.
What should I do to create a doc where there is a box (a rectangle)
surrounded the printable
area and text inside of it? A step by step instructions, please.
Many thanks for your patience and help

Dear Ms. Barnhill
I did read the article carefully but sure I will read it again. I just
want say that I have tried "From text" but word made a mess of my doc.
Worse than that it is that if I open the doc in another pc, the
settings are different!

You don't seem to have read the article very carefully. What you seem to be
describing is a page border. Very few printers will print the bottom of the
page border if you set it "From edge." If your bottom margin is adequate,
then you should be able to set it "From text" and it will print. Reread the
article.

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

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
