Printing with no margins (footer)
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, http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6...rdfinalol8.png but when I go to print preview and printing, it displays incorrectly with margins http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/50/prevfootko3.png |

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 "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:01:01 -0700, Ben wrote: Need some help printing a document with footers.

You must have some type of content blocker on your system... images should
open. This is Office 2008 and Print Preview is the option that I'm aware of. "Pat Garard" wrote: "Ben" wrote in message ... Need some help printing a document with footers.

they have a negative right and left indent equal to the setting of the margins. -- Hope this helps.

Printing with no margins (footer)
I misclicked the helpful comment... no this does not work and is not helpful.
You're failing to see the point here.... this is a FOOTER (a line of information placed at the end of a page for purposes of identification), NOT a paragraph, as I've been stating all along. As detailed as it is in the images, the images state 'exactly' whats happening when attempting to print to the printer. Regardless, I've printed to an adobe pdf and it printed fine (as I noted in the first photo, what it 'should' look like). However, when I go to PRINT TO A PRINTER it displays (ie. the second image I provided). Both Word and Adobe print exactly what it looks like in the second image. I've figured the issue is with the printer itself and does not support bleeding. So, I'll have to purchase one that does.

Printing with no margins (footer)
Jay told you what the problem was at the outset. The vast majority of
printer drivers do no support printing to the edge of the paper and those that do often don't readily do so when printing from Word. .. The PDF driver does not have such limitations. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ben wrote: I misclicked the helpful comment... no this does not work and is not helpful.

Printing with no margins (footer)
Those who have looked at the screen shots will understand that part of the
confusion arises from the fact that we're not dealing with text here at all but rather with shapes (colored blocks) at the bottom of the page (presumably anchored to the footer). Jay's original reply addressed the issue in question, which is that most printers can't print to the edge regardless of how margins or indents are set. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "CyberTaz" wrote in message .. . I'm certain Doug knows precisely what a Footer is, but the point you're "missing" is that *all* [editable] text in a document is contained in a paragraph, regardless of whether the paragraph is in a Header, a Footer, the body text, a text box, a shape... wherever.

speaking about and not know a damn thing... If you don't 'know' what the solution is the don't make outrageous comments as you've previously stated.
