Bottom border in proposal isn't printing!
I am trying to print a doc with borders. When I print the
page, the bottom border is not displayed. Can anyone tell me how to set up the page so the bottom prints? Thanks and I hope that I'm in the right place! |

Check the Printer settings. Word crops the page according to the limit set
by the printer driver. Depending on the printer, this might be an absolute limit, in which case your only option is to reduce the vertical size of the page in Word, so the bottom margin moves up. Some later printers have a print-to-edge option, which you can turn on as needed. "mitch" wrote in message ... I am trying to print a doc with borders.

Mitch,
This is a problem that often occurs when you're using an HP DeskJet printer. You need to change the settings for the page border to position the inside edge of the page border relative to the page margin rather than relative to the outside of the page, which is Word's default Place the insertion point somewhere within the page whose border settings you want to change Click Borders And Shading on the Format menu Select the Page Borders tab Click Options to display the Borders and Shading Options dialog box for Page Borders Under "Measure From," click Text to position the inside edge of the page border relative to the page margin rather If necessary, change the page border margins to at least 10 pts; the page border margins are adjustable between 0 and 31 points only; 31 pts. is a distance of about 0.5 inches; dependent upon the printer used, you may have to experiment with the aid of Print Preview until you get the results you want You may also find it helpful to switch to print layout view (click Print Layout on the View menu) and to display the text boundaries (click Options on the Tools menu, click the View tab and make sure the Text boundaries check box is checked and click OK) Now you're able to see where the page borders are relative to the margins and the edge of the paper. Click Print Preview to verify that the borders are OK. Jon ---------------- "mitch" wrote in message ... I am trying to print a doc with borders.

Thanks for the pointers and references. We're still not
able to print borders so might bail and go to Kinkos for their lazer printer.

Laser printers are getting very inexpensive. I just saw one (16 ppm) at
Sam's Club for under $100.00. (I opted to buy a $329.00 HP printer for the name, but the other one looked fine.) -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
