Are you printing to an HP printer by any chance? If so, it' a known issue...HP printers and Word's bottom margins do NOT play well together....An HP inkjet has only one roll behind the print head. So it can print full-bleed at the upper edge, but, when it comes to the end of the sheet, the printer can only print as long as it can hold the paper with its one roll. It cannot continue printing when the one roll loses hold of the paper, then nothing advances it anymore. Therefore the last half inch is never printed with any HP inkjet. So, never make your bottom margin less than 3/4 of an inch or you will lose the stuff at the bottom of your page. Linda F.
