If you have set the border to "From text" and have set the bottom margin to
a setting that is equivalent to the unprintable area required *plus* the 31
points (or less) added for the bottom border, and especially if the border
is displayed in Print Preview (not just Print Layout view), then I don't
know what else to suggest. Print Preview (again, I emphasize *not* just
Print Layout view) should accurately represent what the currently active
printer is capable of printing.

Options.
If you have changed this setting without improvement, then either your
bottom margin is still too small or you have the page border
surrounding
the
header and footer. Surrounding the footer will almost always result in
the
page border being in the unprintable area.

MR JAY FREEDMAN,
Thank you for your prompt response to my question concerning the
bottom
border not printing & not showing up at all in "print preview".
Unfortunately the suggestions you gave me did not correct this
problem.
I
have a new Toshiba Laptop (Vista & Office 2007) & a new Lexmark 4 in
1
printer. I tell you this to affirm that I do have "modern"
equipment.
There
is no "page set up" as described in your email. In the older
versions
of
Office there was but not in this version. The solutions you
described
would
work in an older version. I spent over 2 hours on the phone today
with
Lexmark Technical Support discussing this difficulty. They believe
this
is
a
glitch that needs to be addressed by Microsoft. Do you have any
further
suggestions????
MS Suzanne S. Barnhill,
Thank you for your quick response to my "missing border problem". I
did
as
you suggested & opened "Page Layout". On my Word 2007 the selections
from
that area a margins, orientations, size, columns, breaks, line
numbers,
&
hyphenation. There is no "PAGE SETUP" selection nor "DIALOG
LAUNCHER".
I
have worked in the "Borders & Shading" options area & changed the
setting
from"EDGE OF PAGE" to "EDGE OF TEXT" ...... this has no impact on
making
that
elusive border appear. This was also one of the suggestions by the
Lexmark
Technical Support personnel I spoke with a great length yesterday. I
gave
them permission to "sign on" to my system & let them play with this
too.
They
were in the final analysis unable to "fix" this. I have moved the
bottom
margin to a variety of different measurements but to no avail. I am
completely mystified by this annoying difficulty. Would you consider
phoning
me & helping me work on this as we speak???? Thanks for your help &
let
me
know if you can think of further remedies.
MS Suzanne S. Barnhill,
Thanks again for a timely response. I found the PAGE SETUP with your help.
I
moved the measurements for the bottom margin up & down to no avail. The
border shows up nicely until you attempt to print or look at print
preview.
One suggestion sent to my by Mr. Freedman was to move all the margins to
"0"
& then attempt to print. His instructions further explain that the WORD
system will alert me that the border is outside the printing area. He said
to
accept the offer of WORD to "fix" this problem & the resulting margins
would
allow all borders to print. This also did not work. I did this & WORD did
offer to "fix" but the border remains missing. I have also moved the
numbers
while in the OPTIONS area of the border selection & this does not allow
the
bottom border to print either. I know there must be a simple solution to
this
strange phenomenon, please help me find it. THANKS!
