How to get a header image (logo) wider than page margins

[jonna]

When I insert my header logo Word makes it fit within my margins. I want to
have a wider logo without Word shrinking my image.

If I insert my image (as a header) and my page has no margins it fits in
well, but when I then adjust my margins (to have a specified area for my
letter), Word does shrink my image.

I have succeeded in doing this earlier, but as I rarely do this .. I have
forgotte...

Pls....

Images that are In Line With Text must conform to the page margins. Wrapped
graphics can appear anywhere on the page. So you have two choices. You can
either apply a negative indent to the header paragraph (to allow the image
to extend outside the margins) and insert the logo inline, or you can change
the wrapping on the logo to any other style and then resize it as desired.

 

[Graham Mayor]

The header margins are adjustable separately from the page margins. If you
insert an image in line with text it will adopt the margins or paragraph
formatting you set for it. If you insert it in any other mode it is
independent of the margins (though not of the printing limits of the printer
driver).

The header pargraph indents? I haven't seen separate left and right header
margin settings.

It may be that your logo is set to be an in-line graphic rather than a
floating one. I've never had problems with graphics exceeding margins but I
don't insert graphics inline usually.

Not sure whether you mean "separate left and right" or "separate header"
(that is, separate from the document). Indeed, Graham was referring to the
paragraph indents as a means of "changing the margins" for the header, but
you can also have different indents for odd and even (right and left)
headers if "Different odd and even" is enabled and different indents are
applied to the Odd Page Header and Even Page Header, either directly or
(preferably) through the use of different header styles.

I meant that there are separate settings for distance from top and bottom
for headers and footers, but not separate left and right margin settings
that only apply to headers/footers. You can get the effect people want when
they say they want to change the margin by changing the left and right
paragraph indent settings.

Right.

That's what I meant. Obviously I didn't explain myself too well
