how do i create a footer with a black background
All,
I'm trying to create a page layout in which the bottom inch of the page is solid black. In other words, i'd like a 1" tall black box that's flush left, flush right, and flush bottom. I've tried creating a footer and setting the fill of it to black, but that leaves white space below and to the right and left of the footer. Sorry to ask such a trivial question, but I'm totally stumped. Many thanks in advance! Cheers, Matt Stuehler |

Aside from getting paper that has a 1" box at the bottom, I don't think
there's a way to do this. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. "mstuehler" wrote in message ... All, I'm trying to create a page layout in which the bottom inch of the page is solid black.

It's possible to set up such a page layout in Word, but the problem is
that your printer probably can't print all the way to the edges of the page, so there will be some amount of non-black area at the left, right, and bottom edges. mstuehler wrote: All, I'm trying to create a page layout in which the bottom inch of the page is solid black.

garfield-n-odie,
Many thanks for your reponse. It's OK if the printer won't print right up to the edge - the document will more frequently viewed digitally. Given that, how do I set up such a page layout?

1. Click on View | Header and Footer.
2. Arrow down to the footer, draw a rectangle AutoShape from the Drawing toolbar, resize the rectangle to the desired size, click on Format | AutoShape | Colors and Lines | Fill: Color: Black | OK. 3. Click on Close. mstuehler wrote: garfield-n-odie, Many thanks for your reponse. It's OK if the printer won't print right up to the edge - the document will more frequently viewed digitally.
