Doc will not always print fully down to page bottom margin

[oldtwit]

On some pages in a long Word doc text does not fill page down to bottom
margin. Formatting does not show any blank lines but there seems to be lines
that can not be printed on.

It can be the limitations of the printer you are using (some of them have larger bottom margins due to the method used to control
the paper feeding). See if the information in this article helps:

The printer can't be the problem because most pages print just fine i.e down
to the bottom margin

In your text turn on Paragraph Marks by clicking on the ¶ mark on the
toolbar of Word. Look through the text for Page Breaks or any special
formatting characters that may be causing that problem. The paragraph mark
(the symbol above) should be at the end of every paragraph not each line.
You may see page breaks or other special formatting characters that could
cause this problem.

No, there is no formatting that could account for the problem.

I wonder if copying and pasting the doc from a memory stick on which the
original doc was saved on another computer; a laptop

If you mean by copying and pasting simply the act of opening the document
from the memory stick, this should not be the cause of your problem.

If you did, in fact, cut and paste part of the text, you may well have done
what you describe, but there should have been those "hidden" paragraph
indicators. What was the source (program used to create) of the text you
copied over to the new computer?

Does the page break show in the print view (View, Print Layout) and in the
Print Preview (File, Print Preview)? If so it is definitely a formatting
problem with a hidden format character. If not then it would be traced to
the printer itself.

Did you try the information in that article and change the way the setting reads the distance to from text?

The article 'Bottoms don't print' at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/BottomsDontPrint.htm
mentions that Word can be a bit finicky for printing lower page portions depending on which of the choices are used to define the
printable area (distance from text to the margins/footers, vs distance from edge of the paper, for example).
