vertical margin to edge of page

[Marcos]

Hi,
I have a document that has a blue .49" margin on the left side of the odd
pages and a similar margin on the right side of the even pages. I am using
the techinque described in here:
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MarginalText.htm under the section
called "True marginal text". Basically I am creating a frame and setting a
shading color to it for the background.

The pages look great in the print view, but if i go to print preview or if i
print it, I see a little bit of white space above and below the colored
frame on both pages. I have no idea how to get rid of it. Basically I want
the color to go all the way to the edges of the page.

Any ideas?

Most printers can't print to the edge of the page. Print preview is showing
you what your printer is capable of printing.
