Last line is cut in half

I had the same problem Charley. I accessed the the cite that CyberTaz
suggested:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/BottomsDontPrint.htm

Here's my suggestion:
Type your documents with a 1" margin (the default "Normal" margin). If you
do not have a second page, create a fake page 2 with a few characters. on the
top line.

-Before printing, print preview the document.
-Follow the directions in the above link to get to the Page Setup dialog
box.
-Leave the top, left and right magins at 1".
-Reduce the bottom margin until the first line from page 2 begins to show in
the print preview at about .6".
-Then, back the bottom setting up to .7" to hide the page 2 text from the
first page in the print preview.
-Now the page should print properly without cutting the last of text in
half.
