Troubleshooting Custom Margins

[SJT]

I'm trying to change the bottom page margin of a document in word 2007. I have the margins showing but after I've made the change in "custom margins" it shows exactly the same margin. I'm trying to get text from the next page onto the page that I'm changing the margin on. I do have page borders setup, but removing them did not solve the problem. I'm using word 2007 and windows xp. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi SJT,

Without seeing the document, it's hard to say what the issue is. Are you sure you're changing the margins in the correct Section (ie there are no Section breaks between where the cursor is and the end of the page)?
