Do Headers and Footers Overprint Your Data?

The problem could be that the headers and footers are overwriting the print margins. By default the print setting for headers and footers are a half-inch from the page’s edge and another half-inch from the data. If either the header or footer consists of more than one line or the top or bottom page margins have been decreased the result is data overrun.

Click on the video icon for a demonstration.

For Example:

• Click on the menus File | Print Preview or click on the "Print Preview icon" located on the Standard Toolbar.
• Click on the button "Margins."
• Place the mouse pointer on the margin guides.
• When the pointer changes to a two-headed arrow drag the margin guides upward or downward to increase the bottom or top margins.
• Click the Close button when finished.
