Hi - I've managed to create a word template using an image in the headers and
footers which goes fully to the ends and sides of the pages. However when I
go to print preview, it automatically resizes the image so that I have a
white bar all around the page which I don't want. The same thing occurs when
I convert the document into a PDF. Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of
these white areas when I print or convert?
Thanks!

This is a function of the printer driver. Very few printers allow printing
to the edge of the page and Word's page setup reflects that. If you have
Acrobat, you can set its driver as the active driver while you format the
document and that will allow you to create a PDF that runs to the edge of
the page, but you will still have a gap when you print it.

Brilliant thanks! I do have acrobat so can you talk me through how to set it
as the driver as the active driver? Sorry I am a bit of a technophobe...

Don't forget to change it back again when you have finished.
