DVD Cover

[9pluck9]

trying to print out a DVD cover using Word
Settings are as follows
8.5 x 11 paper set to landscape
Word, insert picture, from file, browse to said picture.
Format,picture,size tab, Hight 7.5 Width = 11.0
Margins are all set to zero
The problem and cause of all my frustration is I cannot get the picture to
be more the 10.5 inches wide when it prints out. Print preview also shows
10.5 inches despite me manually setting the width to 11.0
All I want to do is insert a picture into word and have it print out so the
size is 7.5 high and 11 inches wide and it will insert perfectly into the DVD
case.
For the love of God please advise.
Thank you

I'm afraid the problem is with your printer. Most require a minimum margin
on at least one side. Even though the unit may be advertised as being able
to do "borderless" or "edge-to-edge" printing that capability is typically
limited to photo paper sizes smaller than letter (4x6, 5x7). You may be able
to "fool" the printer by telling it you're printing on photo-quality paper
instead of plain paper, but the inking will be handled differently & may not
turn out as well as you'd like.

Check in the printer's documentation or the mfr's web site to see if there
is a viable solution, but I doubt there is anything in Word that applies.
