Printing to edge of paper

[Guest]

-----Original Message-----
I am trying to produce a catalogue as part of my ict
project in school. I have placed a text box to cover an
A4 page & filled it with colour, adding more boxes for
text & graphics. I can't get rid of the white margins.
Is there any way I can print to the edge of the paper
please?
.

Hey,
Try going to File and Click Print Setup. After that click
Landscape. This way your text and all the graphics will
be printed like a sideways way. Just look at print
preview after you did that.

I am a professional Graphic Artist. What you're trying to do is called
"bleed," meaning that the color "bleeds" off the edge of the page. Thi
is accomplished at the print shop by printing on oversized paper the
trimming to the finished size. You set up your document so that th
color goes 1/8" outside the margins. To do this on your printer a
home, you'll have to do the same thing -- print on larger paper wit
the colors bleeding outside your margins. Put cutting guides outsid
the margins as well so you can trim it straight

I am having the same problem: I am making a form to print to a Brother
P-Touch 9200DX from Word. Word Insist to cut-off the edges which even
on preview!

There are lots of printer in the Market which can print without edge,
I hope Microsoft would take this serious and fix it asap.

This is definitely a word bug. Try to set your margin to 0 and ignore
the error message, type your text and go to preview, the left annd
right edge of you text is cut-off by word.

It is *not* a Word bug. As I said in another branch of this thread, I have
no trouble getting Word to print to the edges of the paper with my Canon
printer. If you can't set up your printer this way -- and this will have to
be done through the Properties button in the Print dialog, which calls the
printer driver and is *not* part of Word itself -- then complain to Brother
about their crappy driver.

This has nothing to do with Word. These limitations are imposed by your
printer driver. Word displays and prints only what the printer driver tells
it the printer is capable of. *If* you have a printer that is capable of
printing to the edge, you may still need to change a setting in the printer
Properties, as Graham Mayor has pointed out in this or another thread (here
or in word.printingfonts).

Thanks to you all for replying. I've checked & my HP
printer doesn't print to the edge. I'll take it into
school & see if the printers there will do it!

Thanks again cos I thought it was something I was doing!!
