If we are talking about a page border, then ordinary document text cannot be
outside it. If you're talking about the header and footer, then you need to
check the boxes for "Surround header" and "Surround footer" and make sure
that the header and footer margins are within the printable area. If the
text is in a text box, then you need to move the text box.

Some of the text is then outside the border.

Change the setting from "From edge" to "From text." As the article
explains,
the maximum distance of 31 points (less than half an inch) is not enough
to
overcome the minimum unprintable area on some printers.

This is a page border and is set to "from edge".

"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote:

Set the bottom margin to a reasonable amount and set the page border
"From
text." If you are able to set margins and format the page border, you
already know how to do everything that is required. The article tells
how
to
determine the nonprintable area if that's the question.

If you can get to the setting where you have it set "From edge,"
then
you
can change it to "From text" the same way as in any other version.

It is set "from edge". Can you give me step by step instructions
for
office
2007 so I can follow each step and hopefully see what is going
wrong?

"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote:

Is this a table border or a page border? If the latter, are you
setting
it
"From text" instead of "From edge of page"?
