how do I print to the edges of the page?

I am using Avery wizard for word, for postcards that are supposed to be "to
the edge", but of course they do not print this way. I have changed all
margins to zero, got rid of all tab stops etc, to no avail. I still see white
on all 4 edges. Not much on the Right, Top and Bottom, but more on the left.
I just do not understand what to do about this! These are for marketing
purposes for a cheapie with no money. Any suggestions?

Most printers cannot print to the edge of any size paper -- they need
a small margin for the rollers that push the paper through the
printer. Some photo printers offer a special "borderless" mode. If
your printer offers that mode, it will be somewhere in the dialog that
appears when you click the Properties button in the Print dialog.
Since each manufacturer supplies its own dialog (this comes from the
printer driver, not from Word), the option may be labeled differently
or in a different kind of button/list/dropdown.
