Borders in a doc. not all way around
I have always had problems when I use format/page border, and then the on
screen shows it ALL the waya round BUT on print preview it is never on the bottom or on a side etc always seems to have at least one side missing. I have tried to change the settings but it is a hit and miss and generally I have NO IDEA what I am doing but would love to have it explained and shown to me exactly what I need to do to fix this issue. Any help?? Cheers Mike |

Thanks Jay, not solved yet. I have only read your first link and no matter
what I change the 'from edge' or 'bottom' numbers to, it still will not in print preview show the bottom of the page border. The on screen normal view is fine. Will read your other link later in day . Cheers Mike "Jay Freedman" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...sdontprint.htm for an explanation.

You have to select "From text" instead of "From edge."

Go to Format | Borders and Shading | Page Border and click Options.
Underneath the settings for Top, Bottom, etc., there is a setting that says, "Measure from." Change this from "Edge of page" to "Text." You can then set how far you want the page border from your document margins. The maximum amount is still 31 points, but you can choose to include the header and footer or not (you'll probably have to exclude the footer if you want it to print at the bottom). On many printers, especially inkjets, the unprintable area on the trailing edge of the paper (bottom of portrait pages, one side of landscape) is often 0.5" or more. 31 points (the maximum "From edge of page" setting) is 31/72", which is obviously within that unprintable area, so there is no way a page border on that side will be printable. But "From text" actually means "From the document margins." -- Suzanne S.

Instead of messing up with all those options, what I always do is increasing
the page height to .2 inchs. For instance, if I am using a Letter 8.5x11, then I change the Page Height to 11.2 inchs. That is all. But it is not recommanded if you have a document with large number of pages. Try this and hope this help. Let us know!
