Default The bottom line of a box won't print no matter what I do!

I haven't received it yet. Did you "un-munge" my email address?

Different printers can affect this. Can you send me the problem document
or
is if proprietary?

Despite reading the article very carefully, it seems that word won't
print the bottom line. So I want to start from scratch.

What should I do to create a doc where there is a box (a rectangle)
surrounded the printable
area and text inside of it? A step by step instructions, please.

Many thanks for your patience and help

Dear Ms. Barnhill

I did read the article carefully but sure I will read it again. I
just
want say that I have tried "From text" but word made a mess of my doc.


Worse than that it is that if I open the doc in another pc, the
settings are different!

the
page border if you set it "From edge." If your bottom margin is
adequate,
then you should be able to set it "From text" and it will print.
Reread
the
article.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The tex moves around, but the blue
box
around the text won't move a bit. I tried margin setting to zero,
and
then "fix", but only the text inside the box moved.

Print preview still shows me hte botoom line is missing.

Thanks

Ed

Hello

I am trying to do a simple thing - a box around the text - but
Wortd
refuses to print the bottom line of the box. What I did was:

a) New doc - A4
b) Format - Border and Shading
c) Page border, options - 31 pt for all. Then I chose a
simple
blue
box to be inserted in the page.

When I choose preview, word shows that the bottom line of the
box
won't
be printed. I tried to change page setup but word refuses to
print
the
line.

What else can I do?

Many thanks

Ed
