Columns won't go all the way to the bottom page margin?
In Word, I cannot get the columns to go all the way to the bottom page margin
on my first page. They fall about 30mm (1 inch) short. Also, if I move the bottom page margin to above the bottom of the columns, this has no effect on the columns and they stay the same. However, on the second and subsequent pages the columns go all the way to the bottom page margin, and when I adjust the bottom page margin the columns adjust to fit automatically. This is what I would like the first page to do. Any ideas anyone? |

Columns won't go all the way to the bottom page margin?
Thank you for the reply Suzanne. Neither paragraph option is selected.
However, after posting, when I went to the "Print Preview" view, I noticed that the bottom page margin on the side page ruler was exactly where the text finished even though I had set it as much lower on the page in "Page Setup". I performed a click-and-drag on the bottom page margin on the side page ruler in the "Print Preview" view, dragging it down to where I wanted it, and this fixed the problem. I had previously tried this click-and-drag method on the side page ruler in the "Print Layout" view but to no avail. Very strange! "Suzanne S.
