Hi Richard,
You could define a custom paper size for your document, using dimensions that are 0.25in larger than what you now have, then
increase the margins all round by 0.125in.
You can define the custom paper size by clicking 'Page Layout' then the small arrow on the 'Page Setup' panel, followed by the
'Paper' tab and selecting 'Custom size' from the 'paper size' dropdown. Simply increase both dimensions by 0.25in.
You can increase the margin size by 0.125in by clicking on 'Margins' on the 'Page Setup' panel, followed by 'Custom margins' at the
bottom of the dialogue box, then increasing the margins all round.
You should re-check your document after this to make sure everything is still in place, and you may need to enlarge the black
background on your cover page.
Cheers

The printer that is going to publish my document says "there must be .125 inches extra all around on any pages that bleed so" I
must "enlarge the cover pages to be an extra .125 all around." How can this be done?
The original document was written as a single document of 134 pages. The first page is a cover page and is all black with an image
in it. The last page, obviously, is the back cover page and it is also all black with an image centered within it. How can this
document be formatted so that its contents stay the same but the front and back covers only are changed so as to meet the
printer's requirements for 'bleed'?
A caveat - I'm not particularly well versed in Word '07 so any instructions must be of the sort one would use to explain something
to a rather dull rutabaga or maybe even senior level management. The instructions must be explicit and detailed or it is highly
likely won't understand.
Thanks!
