Footer Printing Problems

R

Ron

Hi - I'm running MS Word 2002, and have a saved document with a simple
1-line footer, TNR 12 pt. I'm getting very inconsistent printing results for
this document - sometimes the footer is fine, sometimes it's cut in half,
sometimes it's almost completely cut off. I don't know if the problem is
page set-up or printer-related, although I'm not experiencing any other
problems with the printer, an HP940c. I'm not sure I understand the
relationship between the page set-up settings for bottom margin and "footer
from edge" settings so that they are not in conflict with each other. If
someone can recommend a good setting for these two values, I would
appreciate it. My printer shows a minimum bottom margin spec of .46", but my
document does not have any particular requirements for printing close to the
bottom. I would like to have the footer reasonably close to the bottom, but
I would prefer to get it everytime I print. <G> Thanks for your help.
