Default Outside printable area problem

I have created a Word document that WAS printing fine. I am using 8.5 x 11
paper and my margins are top: 1.00", bottom: 1.00", left: 1.25", right:
1.25". The page consists of shapes, lines, and text boxes. All are above
the 1" bottom margin.

I then added a header and a footer and changed the footer margin to .25
instead of .5.

After changing the footer margin, when I tried to exit out of the page setup
dialog box, it gave me the message "One or more margins are set outside the
printable area of the page. Choose the fix button to increase the
appropriate margins."

If I hit the Fix button, it changes my bottom margin to 2.67". If I hit the
Ignore buttom, it keeps my 1" bottom margin but then when I print it cuts off
the bottom 2.57 inches of my page.

I then deleted my header and footer and reset the footer margin back to .5.
It is still giving me the same problem.

I don't understand what I did to cause this. Can someone please help me?

Thanks so much.
