[JCherry]

Thanks, Eric, I have two HP Office Jets and have been struggling with this.
Ms. Vice President needs to learn her program better. This was incredibly
helpful and it resolved my issues. So it works on HP as well as Epsom!

You are my heroe!

Hope you don't mind my interruption, but I have the same problem.
After many happy hours trying to fix it I finally stumbled on the following
solution.
In my Printer Properties box I have an option "Minimise Margins".
Selecting this fixed the problem.
The printer is an Epsom 830U

If you want to see what the document will look like when printed on the

as the active printer. Print Preview will then tell you what you need to
know. But if you're printing the job to a printer that can't handle the
"From edge of page" setting (which is true of most inkjet printers), then
your only option is to use "From text." I don't pretend that this is ideal,
but it is the only solution available in current versions of Word. Depending
on what your content is, you might be able to put the document text in a
text box or frame that is smaller than the margin width/height (not
practical if it's more than one page).

Your response Suzanne was "clearly" uncalled for.
Your article is informative. Changing the margins in the print set up did
not help at all. I then tried to change 'pt' value on the options tab of
borders and shading and i was able to get a partial line showing but not
the
full line. I have now changed the setting to be 'from text' instead of
'edge
of page' and i have used all of the 31 pt's and after moving the footer up
the border is there but the page looks quite crowded as the border is
closer
to the text than it was with the edge of page option.
I have a concern that now the basic formatting has changed, when the
document is sent to the customer, who most likely is using a laser
printer,
the formatting will be off. Is this a concern?

I, too, am having a problem with the bottom of my footer not printing
completely. I have an HP OfficeJet and have checked everywhere in my menus,
preference, etc. but do not see Minimise Margins. Could you provide details
on where you located this option?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

I don't think HP printers have this option. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...sDontPrint.htm for other
approaches.

MKate,
Open any document, then do "File", then "Print", then click on "Properties",
then click on tab "Advanced", Under "Document Options", "Printer Features",
you'll see "minimize margins" "Off". Click it to "on" and you will probably
solve your problem. Ms Vice President really needs to know her products
better than she does, not sure how she got to be the VP of much of anything.
