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.

Printing in exact corner
Many office printers have an unprintable area round the edge of the page. It
is different sizes on different printers. Nothing you can do in Word will force a printer to print into that unprintable area. You therefore have three options 1. Change your design 2. Buy a printer that can print to edge 3. Send your user guides out to a printing firm that has a suitable printer. Of the three, I suspect that option #1 is the simplest. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Keep your VBA code safe, sign the ClassicVB petition www.classicvb.org "Jughead 36" wrote in message oups.com...
