WD97: Footer Truncated or Missing from Legal Pleading

 Last reviewed: July 31, 1997
Article ID: Q155946
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Legal Pleading Wizard and change the bottom margin to .5 inch, the From Edge setting for the footer is readjusted to 0 inch; and text in the footer may be truncated or missing when you print the document.

This problem does not occur when you change the top margin.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, increase the From Edge measurement for the footer after the wizard is finished.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Text may be truncated or missing when you print the document because all printers have a unprintable range; and the text in the footer is in the unprintable range. For most printers this unprintable range is approximately .25 inch to .33 inch from the edge of the page. For other printers, such as the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet series of printers, this unprintable area is .67 inch from the edge of the page.
