Bottom Page Border doesn't show

[MarkC]

Hi,

Using MS Word 2002 with XP Pro:

I put a page border using the page border feature of Word. However, the
bottom border does not show in print preview and doesn't print. What do I
need to do to show the bottom border? I want of four side of the border to
print.

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks,

I thought 31pt was .5 inches which is the printable area for the printer
I have. 31pt is really equal to .42 inches so of course why the
bottom border isn't printing. Like to know why MS only gave a
maximum of 31pt and not 37pt which would be .51 inches.

I solved the problem by changing my printer paper size from letter to
borderless letter. That did the trick and with that I'm able to print
the bottom page border.
