Since you had such a great, speedy answer, how about this one: Eagle eye can
spot if there is the slightest change in the font or its size. While some are
obvious, it is usually barely noticeable, but she finds them. When I select
portions of the table, I can see it is all Times New Roman 11. If I try to
Ctrl A, and look, it comes up blank in the formatting bar. (Not for every
document, but most of them.) I try to find the offender by using the shift
and arrow down, and cannot find anything out of place. That includes the
marker outside of the cell (at the end of the row). If I try to Ctrl A and
select Times New Roman 11 for the whole document, it will not accept that
configuration. Why???

There are several postings about this issue, and I spent all day
trying to get to the root cause and figured I might as well post what
I found for others to benefit. Many have speculated it is a printer
driver issue, or margin settings, or a font problem, etc. None of
these potential casues were present in my situation.

The issue: text at the bottom of a page is cut off, even though the
page numbers, footer text, and table borders that are below the
cut-off text print fine. This shows up only when physically printing
the document. The text as imaged in Page Layout view or Print Preview
looks fine.

The issue appears to be a bug in Word 2000. Applying Service Release
1a (SR1a) and then Service Pack 3 (SPK3) for Office 2000 will cure the
problem (or it did for me).

In my tests the issue did not surface with Word 2002 or Word 2003.

Hoping this saves some poor soul(s) time and frustration.
