What Bob says about the unprintable area is spot on, but note that it IS
possible to extend tables beyond the margins in most versions of Word. There
is a Compatibility Option in Word 2003 that must be checked to allow this,
but in some earlier versions it's allowed by default.

Word's tables can't extend beyond the margins of the page, and most
printers
have minimum margin requirements.

You can try setting your margin to 0", but you will most likely get a
message saying that the values are "outside the printable area of the
page"
- if so click the 'Ignore' button. Also, click in the table & go to
TableTable Properties & select the "Around" text wrapping option so you
can
drag the table or use the Properties dialog to position as you wish.

Keep in mind, however, that there is *NO* guarantee that your printer will
cooperate with this, but it is about the only way I know of. What you are
asking to do is not intended to be done in a word processing program or on
a
desktop printer.

I am trying to print out an 8-1/2 x 14 Book cover in Landscape view
using
Microsoft Word 2002. I have set up a 3 column, 3 row table and I'm
having
trouble trying to make the table extend the full 8-1/2 ". I keep
getting a
1/2" or so white border at the bottom. Is there any way to get rid of
this
border? The site below shows the cover and the white border is
indicated by
