Word 2003 - Page border
Hi, I am trying to put a page border into my document - the problem is that
the bottom line does not show when I preview or print. I am using A4 size paper and my page setup shows A4. I have wracked my brain but cannot think of what the problem is. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Many thanks. Trish :-) |

Word 2003 - Page border
Maybe you put the border really close to the edge of the page, and maybe
your printer can't print that close to the edge of the page. Most printers have some amount of non-printable area along each edge. Inkjet printers tend to have a larger non-printable area than laser printers. Try moving the border away from the edge of the page.

Word 2003 - Page border
Thanks very much - that worked okay when I changed the setting from paper
edge to text. If I wanted to keep the setting as being from the edge, where do I put the settings so that I can dictate how far from the paper edge to place the border? i couldn't see any settings apart from Edge or Text. It was only the bottom border that had disappeared. Your assistance is appreciated. Regards.

Word 2003 - Page border
The trouble with setting a border location from Edge is that the
largest spacing Word will allow is 31 points, or less than 0.5 inch. That isn't enough to satisfy most inkjet printers (it's usually ok for a laser printer). The article http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...sDontPrint.htm explains the settings.
