Footer and Bottom not aligned

I am a newbie using MAMP to create a v1.7 site but I cannot seem to get a menu in Footer (Admin login) to align with custom HTML in the Bottom module position.

When I compare the preview of my site with that of the hotstart, it looks like the Bottom module is taller and with the text vertically centred which causes the spacing to change.

Is there any way that I can change the height of the bottom module to match that in the hotstart version and align properly?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
open layout.css

and find at very bottom:

.modulerow4 {
width:24.9%;
float:left;
}

put something smaller then 24.9%

if that does not help you can try to force width by adding something like this at the bottom of template_css.css:

.footer_modules{
width:960px!important;
overflow:hidden;
}
