======================================
First...you'll need a printer that can print full
bleed...(to the edge)...if you have that...read on....

Publisher shows that an A5 is...5.827 x 8.268
inches....or...14.8 x 21cm

You cannot fill the page with an image without
cropping unless it it the exact same aspect ratio.

So...you need an image that is cropped to
5.827 x 8.268 inches or 8.268 x 5.827...
depending on the orientation.

The following freeware can do that for you.

FastStone Image Viewer
http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

FastStone's crop tool will allow you to enter a
new size for cropping and you can 'Crop To
Clipboard' which means you can open Publisher
and paste the cropped image in your project.

How do I know if my printer can print full bleed?

How do I know if my printer can print full bleed?

============================
In my limited experience...most InkJet printers
do not print Full Bleed (to the edge).

Maybe the following article will help:

"How to find the maximum print area of your printer"
http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/horidiag

And...your printer's manual may offer some useful info.

Thank you. I have changed the paper size to A5 and the image size to A5
dimensions also, but when I do print preview it shows the page with the image
cut off. Is this the same issue with the printer?

======================================
The article from Ed should have helped you
determine the print area of your printer but it
sounds like your printer does not print to the
edge.
