The bottom line of a box won't print no matter what I do!
Hello
I am trying to do a simple thing - a box around the text - but Wortd refuses to print the bottom line of the box. What I did was: a) New doc - A4 b) Format - Border and Shading c) Page border, options - 31 pt for all. Then I chose a simple blue box to be inserted in the page. When I choose preview, word shows that the bottom line of the box won't be printed. I tried to change page setup but word refuses to print the line. What else can I do? Many thanks Ed |

Your bottom line is below the bottom margin that your printer can handle (or
at least, that the printer is telling Word that it can handle). Some printers give control over this on the printer driver settings. Failing that, move the bottom line upwards. wrote in message oups.com... Hello I am trying to do a simple thing - a box around the text - but Wortd refuses to print the bottom line of the box.

The bottom line of a box won't print no matter what I do!
Unfortunately it doesn't work. The tex moves around, but the blue box
around the text won't move a bit. I tried margin setting to zero, and then "fix", but only the text inside the box moved. Print preview still shows me hte botoom line is missing. Thanks Ed Suzanne S.

The bottom line of a box won't print no matter what I do!
If you're dealing in centimeters, 0.75 is probably too close to the bottom
edge. Check your printer manual for the printer's absolute limit, and the printer properties dialog for the actual setting. Word crops the page according to this value. It's not so critical with late-model printers, but older inkjets could be physically damaged -- or at least get very messy -- if you printed too close to the edges. wrote in message oups.com...

You don't seem to have read the article very carefully. What you seem to be
describing is a page border. Very few printers will print the bottom of the page border if you set it "From edge." If your bottom margin is adequate, then you should be able to set it "From text" and it will print. Reread the article. -- Suzanne S.

Are you using a Page Border? That is what it is designed to do. If the
bottom of your page border does not print, then you need to increase the bottom margin, since the distance "From text" is measured from the document margins. -- Suzanne S.

Hello I am trying to do a simple thing - a box around the text - but Wortd refuses to print the bottom line of the box. What I did was: a) New doc - A4 b) Format - Border and Shading c) Page border, options - 31 pt for all. Then I chose a simple blue box to be inserted in the page. When I choose preview, word shows that the bottom line of the box won't be printed. I tried to change page setup but word refuses to the line. What else can I do? Many thanks Ed |

Different printers can affect this. Can you send me the problem document or is if proprietary? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] wrote in message ups.com...
