I am creating a template in Office 97 for a shipping
document using text boxes and need to print at the very
bottom of an A4 sheet (about 5mm from bottom).
In page set-up I have set the top and bottom margins to
0.00 and the header and footer settings to 0.00 too.
However, there is always a bottom margin of around 15mm.

The only way around this that I have found is to change
the paper size to Legal in both Word and on the printer.
Which allows me to print right to the bottom on an A4
page, but this is not ideal. Any ideas?

I would guess that 15mm is the required bottom margin (unprintable area)
being reported by the printer driver. See
