printed margins of word document not the same as in print preview

[notrom]

I am trying to print a long document as economically as
possible. In print preview, text appears to end very near
bottom of page. The actual printed page, however, falls
short by some 2-3". No text is missing, but it seems
smaller than I would expect. Before I print, I get a
message "Margins of section 1 are set outside the
printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?

I want to fully fill the page, eith with more text or with
larger size text, but I don't want the wasted 2-3" at the
bottom. I'm sure this is a simple problem, but I can't
work it out! Thanks, anyone!
