Word forces a white border at the Print stage

niceguyjin · #1 08-12-2011, 10:43 PM

I have attached 2 images below which show my problem. As you can see in the 'before' picture, I have not created a white border and would like the black background to extend to the edge of the card.

In the 'after', you can see Word has decided that I need a white border. How do I convince it otherwise?

ps This is not a problem with displaying the background colour itself, as can be solved here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906306

Ok I have looked around a bit more and I thought I'd share what I found.

Simply put, it comes down to your printer settings. I have a Canon so my solution was from the Word 'print' screen > Printer Properties > Page Setup > Page Layout and then check the Borderless Printing box.

My Canon settings has a slide bar to set how far to overextend the page colour or picture etc that you want to print borderlessly.

Hope this helps!
