How do I add "borderless photo" to the paper size window?
I have a document with "cut and pasted" backgrounds with text on top that I
would like printed with NO white border. I (thought I) fixed this by going to File, Page Setup, Paper, Paper SIze, and selecting "borderless photo" in an 8 x 11.5 size. Now I need to reprint it, and the "borderless photo" option is GONE!! There are Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, A5, etc choices, but I can't find another suitable fix. Can anyone help me print this document with NO white borders? Also, I tied to add automatic page numbers in a footer, however, these are buried "behind" the background and I can't bring them forward, as all the pages already have a pasted backgound and text over that. Any ideas? Thanks so much for reading! |

How do I add "borderless photo" to the paper size window?
For future reference, it is better for you as well as others if each issue
is posted separately. Otherwise someone with the answer to thing and nothing to offer re the Subject of the one post will never see the other issue. AFA Borderless - Was that an option you selected from a list, or did you create a 'custom' setting? The items in the list are generated by the printer driver of the selected printer, so even if it was in the list before it may not be there now if you have a different printer selected. If you created the spec yourself, it may very well be that the printer simply isn't capable of that size borderless. It may be able to do 4x6 & 5x7 photos borderless, but that doesn't mean it can print edge to edge on *any* size you'd like. You may be able to 'force' it by setting 0" margins all around and Ignoring any warning that pops up when you do, but even so it may vey well *not* come out on paper that way because most printers require somewhere to grab for feeding the paper through. If the printer handles larger paper size you can use that, then trim to size after printing. Your page # problem is due to the fact that you have pasted the graphic over top of it and No you can't "bring them [page numbers] forward".Word's file structure will not allow that. The fix revolves around whether you are using the same graphic or a different one on each page. If the former, cut the picture, go to ViewHeader and Footer & paste it there - make sure to set the Text Wrapping to Behind Text - and delete the image from any other pages. The page #s will then overprint the graphic and the document text will overprint both. That will also reduce your file size significantly because the one copy of the image will repeat on each page - so the file only needs to store the one copy, whereas what you have now is causing the file to store one copy *per page*. If you need to use a different image on each page the solution is much more complex. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "crandell5" wrote in message ...
