After creating a 8 1/2 x 11 flier, I inserted a border. However, when I
print, a message pops up saying I am outside the printable area. The WYSIWYG
document looks great, but the print preview (and the printout) always cuts
off the bottom of the border.
I have tried modifying the borders and reduced the header/footer to zero,
but nothing gets the bottom border on the document to print. I'm using
Office XP. Do I need a patch?
