From the drawing toolbar select a rectangle and draw it at any size, then resize to fill the page (as Robert says the printer may not print righ to the papers edge). 2. Right click and select "Area", change the background there. 3. Optionally right click and select "Line" and make it invisible. 4. Right click and "Arrange - To Background". -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
