Last line of footer dropped when printing
I consistently have problems with the last line of a 3-line footer not
printing even though it displays fine in print preview. Sometimes this happens just from printing on a different computer than the document was originally created on (i.e., on the original computer the footer prints okay). To correct this, I am continuously tweaking the 'distance from bottom margin' setting by trial and error. Is there a better way (in Word 97)? Thanks. |

Is it actually being displayed in Print Preview or just in Print Layout
view? Forgive me for asking, but many users confuse them. If it's displayed in Print Preview but not printing, I have no solution, but if you see it in Print Layout view but not in Preview, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...sDontPrint.htm -- Suzanne S.

Try adding an extra, blank line after your last typed one, then close
footer. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Is it actually being displayed in Print Preview or just in Print Layout view? Forgive me for asking, but many users confuse them.

Or just increase the footer margin?

Is it actually being displayed in Print Preview or just in Print Layout
view? Is 'Print Layout' something that was added after WORD 97? I'm not familiar with it. I was referring to 'Print Preview' (the WYSISYG preview screen). |

Try adding an extra, blank line after your last typed one, then close
footer. Yes I've tried that. Usually that does work, but it also drives the footer up the page (more than I like). Even tightening the 'line spacing' for the blank line doesn't change that much. I guess this may be a inconsistency in Word's own calculations of spacing in the footer. I've noticed similar variations in the relative position of two different tables on the front and back of the same page -- i.e., their horizontal positions relative to one another change slightly from one print job to the next. Or possibly the printers I'm printing on are out of adjustment. However, I haven't noticed anything else happening that would suggest that. |

Print Layout view is the Word 2000+ name for Page Layout view in older
versions. My guess is that your problem is that the footer margin needs to be increased a bit; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...sDontPrint.htm. -- Suzanne S.
