Default how do I set page margin to print nearer the bottom of the pag

99.99999% of the time, page layout should be set to TOP. I'm willing to have
a look at your document. Also, you didn't say whether this happens on a new
file.

Hi Anne

It doesn't matter what I set the margins to - just that at zero, it is as
far down the page as I can get it.

I usually have them set to 1.5cm.

It isn't "keep with next" or page break before" either.

The only thing that makes a difference, is whether I have -
Page set up/Layout/Page - set to Botom - then everything goes to the
bottom
and the text starts half way down the page.

Its almsot as if the set up thinks the page is shorter than it is.

The page is set to A4 and the page size is as per A4 length and width..

I actually think this is a bug, with the page set up retaining the US
"letter" size format, even when set to English A4.

Okay, Denis. I still don't see the problem, tho I'd never set my margins
to
zero. So, are you SEEING this or it's just printing like this? Is there a
possibility that the paragraphs that appear at the top of the pages has
some
formatting such as "keep with next" or "page break before" set on them?
How
is it if you create a brand new document? Same issue? If so, check your
printer driver.

Thanks for response

Bottom 0cm
left 1.5cm
right 1.5cm
Footer 0cm

Bottom margin likely shouldn't be zero, but what is your footer margin
set
at?

I am having dificulty getting text to show at the bottom of the page.
It
is
leaving a gap of about 23 cm between the last line and the top of
the
footer.
I have the bottom margin set at zero.

If I keep typing, it just throws another page.
Anyone got any ideas?
