How do you create a table same size as the paper?

[JayN]

In Word 2003, I would like to create a table the same size as the paper. I will use the tables internal margins to control the non printable area. Each time I try to create the table however, the last row breaks onto another page.

I have tried unsuccessfully, all the things I know. Any help is appreciated, even if it is to say that what I am trying is impossible.
