invisible border

[kokomon]

hi,

I pasted a full page graphic onto the first page of my
document. Although the graphic covers every corner of the
A4 page.. when i print preview or print it out...there's
still a border surrounding the graphic. I've changed the
settings for the page setup and the border setting as well.
Pls Help! Thanks in advance!

Regards,
koko

Hi koko,

Do you mean the picture claims to extend to the edge of
the paper? It won't. You may get a lying preview on
some setups, but that's what it is.

Alternatively, does the image itself *have* a border?
If it does, you could crop it out using the Crop tool
on the Picture Toolbar, or, for very fine adjustments,
the Crop controls in the Format Picture dialog.

Thanks for the feedback. However, i wan the picture to fill up the whole A4
page. Its a front cover for our report. There are no borders in the picture
too. Any ideas?

Regards,
Seow

Hi, Seow,

If your "border" is white unprinted space, that's your printer's fault and
not Word's. Although some newer printers are able to print all the way to
all four edges -- the technical term is "full bleed" -- most printers can't
do it. In Print Preview, Word is just showing you what the printer driver
tells it, and that's usually accurate.

Look at the instructions for your printer, or in the Help (if any) for the
printer driver (Start > Settings > Printers > [your printer's name] > Help),
to see whether it has any "full bleed" or "full page" capability.
