I am a little confused about exactly what you are asking. Could you try to define the problem better?
If you attach a file showing the problem it will probably be helpful also, (also possibly make it more confusing).

Holly,
I believe you are trying to change your "Footer" margin, that will be in your "Printer's Driver" not within CoredDRAW.

Hi guys - sorry for the lack of reply. I didn't get a single message that anyone replied to my note so I assumed no one did...
I tried everything in the Print Preview window (which Draw 12 online help recommended to modify the margins). Every time I saved my changes, I could tell it didn't take as the print preview was still showing a 1" bottom margin. All I wanted to do was change that to .5", which I know my printer can handle with all other programs. In utter frustration, I shut the thing down and called it a day.
Today, I log on, don't see that anyone from the Forum responded (or so I thought) and decided to launch Draw again and give it another try. Imagine my shock when I opened the document to see the print preview is showing the margins I tried so hard to set yesterday! The much-needed .5" bottom margin is set! I don't know why the preview didn't show the changes yesterday - perhaps I ate up too much RAM and it was unable to properly refresh - but I did nothing but open the doc this morning and it's perfect!
I've had other quirky issues with Corel before with display issues. Odd stuff that will show but not in a typical 'running out of memory' type of way. I guess the old adage 'when in doubt...reboot' just may be useful once in a while afterall! At least that's what I'm claiming for this issue!!
Thanks to everyone who responded! Appreciate the effort!!

We're curious as to what printer(?). Not your Epilog, right?

The sawgrass sublimation ink printer driver(power driver for c86) is doing that to me and I can't find where to change it in the driver settings.
I sometimes lie to it and say I am using legal size paper but it will print completely by acutally printing on letter size. I also got some legal size sublimation paper just in case.

New info....but first, to answer your question, I have an HP Officejet 7310.
The document is intended to be double sided. I found that when I set in the printer properties for it to print double sided 'automatically' that the bottom margin would set to 1" and not allow me to change it. When I put this to any other setting, it accepted my margin change.
So who knows...at least I know how to work around it now! Thanks to all for the input!
