Default white text-black background WITHOUT border

Print Preview is intended to show what will print.

Hi Terry: thank's for your quick reply! I am not completely
convinced that this is a printer problem. The reason is that after
using Msft Word's PRINT PREVIEW option, the unwanted border also
appears. best, Aaron

What you are seeing is the shortcomings with the printer rather than

Word.
Most printers have an unprintable area around the edges which looks like

an
unwanted white border. Print houses use very high end printers that can
'bleed' to the edges of the paper those sometimes they use large stock

paper
and then trim off the excess (the white border).

Some newer Photo InkJet printers have the ability to make borderless

prints
on special paper. If you desperately want white text on black, you will

have
to get one of these printers.

My personal preference is for Canon (IP4200) but Epson and HP make

inkjets
with similar ability.
