I can't see the bottom of the border in preview or print mode?

I am unable to see the bottom of the border in print preview or when the
document is printed. I have done all stated in the help file and still I
cannot see it . The margins are normal default.

Thank you garfield, informative but it still will not put the border on the
bottom of the page. The footer is visible but border is not it reset itself
to be 1.15 cm but still not showing on the bottom of the page.

You clearly have not followed the instructions in the article. Read it
again.

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?

If you want to see what the document will look like when printed on the
client's printer, you need to install the driver for that printer and set it
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).

piece of mind. Carrie

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
