Default white text-black background WITHOUT border

NOTE TO TERRY & SUZANNE & others::

Problem solved. I was able to print white type against black
background in Msft Word by doing following:

Method for printing white type on black background

1. Highlight subject text
2. Select FORMAT tab
3. Select Shadings tab, select Black background, be sure to check mark
the APPLY TO TEXT box
4. Again, select FORMAT tab
5. This time select FONT tab, select WHITE color

PRINT PREVIEW should show white text on black background

thanks for your info on PRINT PREVIEW. This was something I did not
know. There are many things I do not know, but as for learning use of
software, there is always attempt to learn. Aaron

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.
