Place word document content that is outside of print area

[timtak]

When I place some Word document content into publisher, the content that is
outside of the print area is not placed.

Perhaps I could fool my computerinto thinking that I have a printer that
prints right to the edges. But perhaps there is some setting that says "place
whole object not just that part of the object that would be printed"

By the way, I will be sending my stuff to a publisher that will be using a
"tonbo" in Japanese ( I don't know how to say it in English) which is a spare
area of page around my manuscript that is cut off afterwards. Thus he can
print right to the edge
of the page.

However, as I have just posted elsewhere I find that when I place a
word document into a publisher document, the unprintable part of my word
document is not placed into the publisher document, even if I move that word
document into the center of a large page. It is as if the word document comes
as a bit map produced by my printer driver. But that is not the case.

Or at least that is why I think I am not seeing the edges of the word document
that I am placing.

Publisher does not suffer the dreaded jumping image syndrome.
On the toolbar, arrange, click layout guides, set on the margins to all to zero.

Create a text box in Publisher, on the toolbar, insert, page, create another text box
on this page too, on page one, select the text box, click the "connect text frames"
and connect the two text boxes. Highlight all the text in your Word document, copy
and paste into the first text box in Publisher. Publisher will automatically create
pages and text boxes for any over flow.
Now insert your images, bring them to the front, the text will flow around them. You
can make your text boxes transparent, ctrl+t...

yes, I think that if I did the layout again, I would be able to succeed where
Word failed. (But then again, if I were going to do it all again, I would use
InDesign as opposed to Publisher.)

I have done the layout in word, I just want to add some page numbers
and stuff in the margins of every page.

So I would still like to know how to place word documents to the edges
of the page.

What is preventing your setting the margins to zero in page layout? You will get a
dialog, but you can click ignore.
