1/2" bleed to edge

[Cork2]

I made a flyer/ad and the person i sent it to send me the following.

"In order for the grey background to trim to the edge of the page, I need
about 1/2" bleed on the edge. In other words, the file you send me needs to
be bigger than the actual page size with bleed space included."

Does that mean i have to resize the entire file(text, tables, pictures)? i
really don't want to do that as there is alot. What can i do to get that 1/2"
bleed on the edge?

I am using Publisher 2007

Thanks in advance

And what are you saying? Making your page size bigger didn't work?

If the article didn't help, I think you'd be better served asking this on a
printer specific web site.

I can suggest creating a background to fit larger than your flyer. Maybe a light
shade that won't take away from your creation.

Bleeds in the USA and UK generally are 1/8 of an inch from where the cut is to
be made.

no i was asking what it meant if i had to resize everything like pictures and
text and tables cause i have alot of it there i was looking for a quicker way
to do that and a way to do that bleeding he wants.

oh.
depends on what's bleeding - if an image goes to bleed you may be able to
just reposition it...otherwise if it's just the bg it should be no big deal.

1/2 bleed sounds kinda big btw.

make a backup before you change the page size!

No, you need to resize your page without resizing your objects, to give
an area that might or might not print. If you have objects forming the
background (like a fill or a pattern) then you will have to resize
those. Text and content objects should stay the same size.
