Footers - where are they measured from?
Could someone please tell me where footers are measured from in Word 2002.
I have experimented, and in some cases they seem to be from the actual bottom of the page, while in others they seem to be added to the bottom margin. On other occasions they are ignored! It is very confusing. Thanks Noel |

Footers - where are they measured from?
The footer margin determines where the baseline of the first line of footer
text will be. Any additional lines will push the footer up, into the document body if necessary. See http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.

Footers - where are they measured from?
I read your message and the web reference with interest.
Can you clarify one thing for me? I note that "Word reserves space for the header and footer outside the top and bottom margins." I thought this would mean that if I set my bottom margin to 3 cm and my footer to 1 cm, the footer text would appear 2 cm from the bottom but it appears with the top of its letters 3cm from the bottom.

Footers - where are they measured from?
When your bottom margin is 3 cm and the footer margin is 1 cm, the bottom of
the footer is at 1 cm (that is, Word allows 1 cm between the footer and the bottom of the page). How close this is to the bottom margin depends on your font size, how many lines of text you have, etc. There is no way to set a specific distance between the top of the footer and the bottom margin. -- Suzanne S.
