footer too high on page

T

I have a document that the Page Setup menu claims has the footer 0.5" from
the bottom edge of the paper. This looks to be the case when I view the
Print Preview. However, when I print, the footer is closer to 3" from the
bottom edge of the paper.
I can't seem to fix this.
The document is based on a template that is set to Compatibility with Word
97. I created the current document in Word 2002 SP3. Material from three
files from was pasted into the file I'm having trouble with.
Would the Compatibility settings of these other files cause this problem?

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

If both the right and bottom margins are larger on the printed
page than they appear on the screen, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=325527 "WD2002: Document
Printed with Wide Right Margin and Small Text If You Turn Off
Balloons". In the File->Print dialog, make sure "Print what" is
set to "Document" instead of "Document showing markup".

That did it. Thanks. I'd switched to Final on the Reviewing toolbar but
that didn't seem to change the Print dialog reliably.
