  1. plz help how to formate a bordered document for binding …. i am unable add space before the border …

  2. I have found a page border on the “christmas borders for word doc” website but it will not let me insert text inside the border. I have tried doing the text and copying the border to the text. I have tried putting the border on the page and tried to insert a text box but it will not allow this to happen. How do i get text inside this border. Thank you for your help. Maureen

  3. The page border also occupies the binding space. how can I move the border to the left?

  4. Hi,

    I have done exactly as you show above when inserting a page border – but when I print the document it never prints the bottom of the border….why?

    Thanks

    • It’s your printer driver.  I had fits with it.  It would work at my office but not at home.  I’ve done things such as making the document size smaller, adjusting print settings.  I have an HP printer and found a setting to minimize margins.  It seems to work when I print in regular mode, but if I select to print in presentation mode on glossy or some kind of nicer paper selection, it still gets cut off. I’ve found numerous posts on it, but the fixes do not always work.
