Microsoft Word cutting off bottom half of footer

[Rudiger]

This had been happening to all Microsoft Word documents when I print them. The footer looks fine when working in Microsoft Word but when I go into Print Preview (or actually print) a document the bottom half of the footer is cut off. Is there anything I can change in MWord to fix this?

Here in the UK we use A4 paper size, but US paper size is different, the page is shorter.

In the print options make sure you have the paper size set a A4 and not something else like US letter or whatever.

It sounds as if the paper size in your document settings doesn't match those in your printer settings. (For example, you will lose the last part of an A4 document if your printer settings are set to 'US Letter', rather than to A4).

First, check the paper size in your document settings:
File > Page Setup > Paper
If A4 (or whatever other paper you normally use) isn't shown, make the appropriate change and click 'Default'.

Now, check the paper size in your printer settings:
File > Print > Properties > Page Setup
If necessary, change the page size to A4 (or your paper size, if different) and click 'Apply'.

If the above two don't sort your problem, when you go file->print and the dialog box comes up, click the properties button at the top, next to where it names your printer. In there hopefully there'll be a layout tab, and you can often tell it to 'resize page to fit' or some similar option like that (different printer manufacturers use different interfaces).
