Re: table print error

Although it's by no means an ideal solution (and I'm not absolving Word of
creating the problem), you might try adding a new row at some point where it
is possible to break the text (between paragraphs), then set rows not to
break across pages. Sometimes it's easier just to throw in the towel and try
a workaround rather than try to figure out what's causing the problem so you
can effect a solution.

Another thing to investigate if this is Word 2002 or 2003 is whether the
table has become wrapped. There is an option in those versions to allow text
in wrapped tables to break across pages (something they can't do in Word
2000), but I can well imagine that the feature might not work perfectly.

Yet another possibility is that your footer has acquired some space before
(perhaps in the form of an empty paragraph) that is forcing the bottom
margin up, though this should not truncate text, just force it to the next
page.

Also, you mention a logo in the footer. Depending on the wrapping on the
logo, this could well be the cause of the problem; do you still see if it
you remove the logo?
