Christina is right. There are few printers that can truly print "edge to edge."
A print shop could create the same effect on letterhead but will have to print on larger paper because their printers will not print all the way to the edge either. The will then cut the paper to an 8.5 X 11 size. This "bleed" printing along with the desired color may cost prohibitive in a small office environment. Alternatively, you can now purchase ink jet printers that will print "edge to edge." The down side to this is that it will be slooooooowwww and use lots of ink. In a small production environment this may work best and be more economical. - Todd -----Original Message----- From: Christina Lannen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 10:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: Help with MS Word Well the vast majority printers can't print to the edge, so you'll have a margin whether you want one or not Erick Papadakis wrote: >hi, i have set up a box (textarea) as my footer in a word document so >that the colored textarea spans from one end of the page to another, >fully. in pRINT PREVIEW, the page appears fine, with the bottom of the >page colored red as a footer base. > >however, when i print the document, this footer box has margins around >it. why cannot i print an entire footer in the box? i tried removing all >top/bottom/left/right margins in PAGE SETUP and it seems it doesnt work >anyway. the margins are for the text, not for the footer. > >any help would be great!! thanks!! > >.ep > > ____ * The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM * ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
