Is this a table border or a page border? If the latter, are you setting it
"From text" instead of "From edge of page"? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "gertandruby" wrote in message ...

If we are talking about a page border, then ordinary document text cannot be
outside it. If you're talking about the header and footer, then you need to check the boxes for "Surround header" and "Surround footer" and make sure that the header and footer margins are within the printable area.

Bottom Border Missing
Having followed your instructions, checking the printer, settings for
margins, etc...with no positive results, I decided it was time to call Microsoft. The tech believes there is a driver problem with my printer. The printer prints fine until I add a border.

Bottom Border Missing
Okay, I have looked at your document, and the issue is that the margins are
not set sensibly. You have 1" top, bottom, and left margins and a 1.5" right margin. If you want the text centered on the page, you need to set left and right margins to the same amount. The reason your text is extending outside the page border when you set it "from text" is that you have applied negative left and right indents to the text instead of changing the page margins. Many of the paragraphs have a -0.5" left indent and a -1" right indent. You can achieve the same effect by setting the left and right margins to 0.5". You'll still need to figure out how close to the edge your printer will print. With 0.5" margins, you will surely not be able to accommodate a page border 31 points from the text, so you may need to rethink the layout of your flyer--reduce the text size, move some of the text, etc. I would be inclined to start with 1" margins all the way around and no negative indents and see where you can go from there. In the Page Border Options, set the page border to "Text", increase the distance to 31 points all the way around, and clear the check boxes for Surround Footer and Surround Header. -- Suzanne S.
