Default Printing with no margins (footer)

Instead of changing the margins, format the paragraphs in the footer so that
they have a negative right and left indent equal to the setting of the
margins.

I've given this a try, but then it reformats (removes all margins) my
entire
document and I don't like that.

I have a Brother DCP-110C

Need some help printing a document with footers. When I go to print the
footers are printed with margins (side / bottom). What I like it to do
is
print the footer the entire width of the page.

Word displays the footer the correct way,

This is forced by your printer. Unless you have a photo printer or
something
like that, which can print all the way to the edge of the paper, you'll
always
have an unprintable margin.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...sDontPrint.htm for
details.
