I used Microsoft Word 2003. Received a customer file in a docx format. Opened the file with 2003. One of the pages is ending before it is necessary and is therefore pushing one line of text to the next page.



I've adjusted magins, header/footer size, and tried a bunch of other stuff. I turned on "show text boundaries" and the boundary does not move as I change anything and everything. When I opened the file the bottom boundary of this particular page was set to 0.06". I had someone open it in Word 2013 and everything is just fine. Checked page layout and bottom boundary for the page was set to .25" or something (not set to .06").

How can I force this last line to stop returning to the next page? Please help. I've attached a picture. Apologize for the blur but as this is not my content I feel that it is necessary to blur it out.

Without looking at the document itself no one here is going to be able to tell you what is wrong with it.

I would suggest narrowing the space between columns, widening the columns.

Columns and margins are all section properties. I would note that especially with bottom margins, there are limits imposed by the printer driver.

Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word 2007-2013

it looks like the .06" margin setting is for the last page, not the one preceding it. and the one preceding it looks to have a larger bottom margin than 0.25". if changing the margin settings doesn't work try manually decreasing the footer area. and if all else fails you can always decrease the line spacing.

Try applying the margin settings to the entire document.
