bottom border will not print/done all obvious already

[Guest]

I have been trying to print a border on the edge of page. Went through all
the steps microsoft office suggests...In the "check the distance between the
page border and the text"..I have no option to "click text and measure from.
Under margin adjust the setting syou want" Only choice is "pts" not inches.
No matter how large or small I make the "pts", still no bottom border.
Microsoft Office XP is the software I use.

How did you insert the border?

If you created a page border using the Format->BordersAndShading
menu, then click on Options in that menu and either increase the
"from edge" measurement or decrease the "from text" measurement
until the border prints. You can enter the measurement in the
unit of measure that you prefer (e.g., 0.25", 18 pt). 1 inch =
72 points.

If you inserted a clipart border, then click on the clipart
border and resize it.
