Default Printing in exact corner

I am designing a template for user guide. I want the chapter number to
be printed in a greysquare in the extreme corner of the first page, but
the printer settings always leaves a small white margin in the sides.
have tried it with a 2 column table, with chp # and title and also with
text boxes but always white space is left on the sides.


Word "asks" the printer and uses the non-printing area provided. Many
printers simply cannot print right to the edge of the paper; you might
be able to trick Word in pretending you're using a different size paper,
but depending on the printer, this might do actual damage.
