[tcebob]

(Forgot to mention: Word 2003)
Apparently the table cell complicates the situation, so I removed it. Now I have two text
boxes and have defined the margins as left 0.1", right 0.9", top 4" and bottom 0.5".
however, as you can see on the screen shot, the margin area is about half that expected,
though the tick marks are shown right.
Further, if I drag one of the textboxes to the working area, it disappears.

I guess I'll have to give up on the textboxes and just type the text in place.

:I can't image what you have done, but you mentioned table. Tables MUST
: always be followed by a paragraph mark that stores its formatting
: information. Turn on your ShowAll command and you will probably see the
: trailing paragraph mark on the blank page in its own. Select it and apply
: Hidden attribute. Then when you toggle off the ShowAll command, the extra
: page will disappear.
