225052 2004-03-25 07:03:00 Hi all

i am doing some work and need some cover pages, to match some i did last year i need these pages to have a heading and a page border.
just a plain black line around edge of the page.
i can see it on screen ok with border, nice firm black line but when go to preview the page it has cut the bottom of the border off.
i tried changing margin settings but i have not been able to fix it, and as i still dont know this program back wards / front wards so am struggling to look for the right settings...... it will be real simple as it always is with me.

this clear as mud?

any help appreciated.

Under Borders and Shading, select Options, and Measure From: - Change to Text (will default to edge of page)

will shut down for a while and come back when all parties are fresh.....
I hate these machines.

nothing ever is smooth or simple for me.
