i know it sounds trivial but i cant get the bottom border of a page border to print ... also you cant see it on print preview..ive tried messing around with the margins etc but to no avail...
 
The margins and footer settings should be it, unless the border itself is white in colour.
 
Chris,
The problem is two fold.

1st - your printer has a large unprintable area at the bottom. (more than .25)

2nd - You have set up a page border in word - it has predefined margins (not changeable). This preset border is falling in the unprintable area on your printer.

You can get around it - if you aren't using the border Art.
You can draw your own border in using the drawing toolbar. Sometimes I leave the page border on, and just add a new drawn line at the bottom of the page.

Best Wishes,
AngO
