Hi all, I am having trouble printing documents WYSIWYG in Word 2010. The file has a text box at the bottom with a solid colour fill that should extend across the page and to the bottom. When I print the text box has a blank border, and the last line of text is missing from the page completely. I have ticked the borderless printing box, and tried with and without the auto fit option (and have named and saved the custom profile). The printer is a HP Photosmart 2575 and does support borderless printing - if I save the same document as a PDF and then print, it works perfectly but this is cumbersome for mailmerges. If anyone can help I would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

It has to do with your printer and printer driver's interaction with Word. See The bottoms of pages don't print.

Thanks very much for the quick reply. It seems odd that it prints to the edge of the paper printing a PDF but cannot with a Word document. I suppose the simple answer is to print the "blank" PDF, put the paper back in the drawer and then print the text only from Word. Still this is acceptable for what I have in mind so thank you for the clarification.

For mail merges you can find a utility at the link below that breaks out the individual documents from a merge. That might help.

Thank you, I will be sure to take a look at that.
