Help!

My text is set out in a table, but the last line on the page doesn't print
propertly - the bottom 50% of each character doesn't print. It's not a
printer margin problem (I don't think) as the footer below prints correctly.

Any ideas gratefully received

thanks

David

Is the table row set to an Exact height? Is it allowed to break?

There was no further discussion on this topic, but I'm having the same
problem as David. My table row is NOT set to an exact height and it IS
allowed to break (which I definitely want since there are three paragraphs of
text in that row and it breaks in almost the exact middle of the second
paragraph.)

Thanks for your help.

I would guess it might still be a printer driver (rendering) issue. Can you
experiment with a different printer/driver?

I tried printing to three different printers in our office and they all did
the same thing in exactly the same place. One of them is a brand new printer
we just had installed, so I'm sure the driver is right.

I've tried going into Table - Options and changing the bottom cell margin
from the default .05" both up (to .08") and down (to .02"). I've tried
changing the bottom page margin both up and down (without changing the footer
"from edge" margin, since that would mess up the company logo in the footer.)
Nothing works. As a matter of fact, changing the margin changes which line
of text is last, but even if it's a line ABOVE the original last line
(leaving more space below it), it STILL cuts the line of text in half!!

Are any merged cells involved? This can really confuse Word at the bottom of
a page.
