No, an inline image may not extend beyond the margins; it will be reduced in
size to fit between the margins (or indents). The paragraph mark does not
take up any space and will not be forced to the next line.
I have tested this, inserting an image into a paragraph with negative left
and right indents equal to the side margins. The image is initially inserted
at 21% (margin width) despite the indents (the same thing that happens if I
insert it into a paragraph without the indents). If I increase the image
width to 8.5", the image fills the page, and the paragraph mark is not
forced down.

Hi Suzanne,
I think that, if an in-line format is used, centring the paragraph will
allow the image to automagically extend beyond the text margins. My only
concern with the in-line approach is that, once you've got a full-width
graphic, the paragraph marker will be forced to the next line, thus
increasing the header size.

To add to what macropod has said, you can insert the image inline as
well, but you'll need to add negative indents to the header paragraph.
For example, if you have 1" left and right margins, you'll have to
apply -1" left and right indents to the header. But do note the caveat
about full-bleed printing.

Hi,
You shouldn't need to change the page margins to use a logo that covers
the full page width. All you really need to do is to format the image's
layout as square, center it horizontally and make its width the same as
that of the page.
Do note, though, that no matter what you do, most printers will be
unable to print to the very edge of the page. That's because most
printers require a small area around the edges for the paper transport
mechanism.

Using office 2007 in 'word' I would like my letter heading/logo to
cover full
width of page and then have normal margins for the rest of the page.
so far when I try resetting margins 'from this point on' the programme
sends
me to a new page. Any advice will be appreciated.
