Footer size
Is there a way to change the size of a footer area? I
want the page number to be as close to the bottom of the page as possible. In the footer box, the page # is at teh top, if I hit enter to move the page number down, it grows the footer box up into the page, taking away from the text area. It looks like the header area is only 1 line and is close to the top. This is how I want the footer. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Zagorski |

Footer size
Mike, you control how close the footer is to the bottom of the page using
Page Setup. From the File menu, choose Page Setup and select the Layout tab. On that tab, you'll find controls for setting the header and footer; the numbers in those controls specify how close the header and footer are to the edge of the page. Set the footer for the minimum amount of clearance you want between it and the bottom edge of the paper, then click OK. You'll be able to see the results most easily if you view your doc in Print Layout view and, from the View menu, choose Header and Footer. (Header and Footer is a toggle control; select it once to view headers and footers, again to hide them.) There's one caveat to setting your header and footer: Word checks their position against the maximum printable area for your current printer. Don't be surprised if Word warns you your footer is outside the printable area of the page; if it does, you'll have to adjust the footer to fall within that area, or choose a different printer. -- Matt Lusher Microsoft Corporation Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
