Works 2000: Bottom Page Border Is Not Printed

2. On the File menu, click Open.
3. Browse to the document that contains the page border, and then click Open.
4. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
5. In the Page Setup dialog box, click the Margins tab, and then select a number to increase the bottom margin in the Bottom box.NOTE: Consult the printer documentation to determine the minimum margin specifications that you can set.
   
   
6. Click OK.
7. On the File menu, click Print.
