There are very few printers that print to the edge of the paper and as yours
doesn't appear to do so, I suspect your Dell support person doesn't know
what he is talking about. As Suzanne has indicated, Word will only print
what the driver allows it to print. If the printer does happen one of the
few that is capable of printing to the edge, then this should be covered in
the printer driver settings - so back to Mr. Dell.

All suggestions by this site did not work. If I set the parameters
to text
it will print the whole border, however, the border is now based on
the page set-up margins. I want a border around the edge of the
paper which is the other option, "from edge of paper". I talked to
printer support from Dell
they want me to uninstall and reinstall my drivers and said that my
printer should be able to print right to the edge of the page. It is
a new printer. Has to be some setting in word or default setting for
pinter margins that is set to low at the bottom. Any more help would
be appreciated.

When I added a border of apples from the art section in Borders and
Shading, it does not show in the print preview nor when it is
printed out. I have played with Page set up borders as well as the
margin options in Borders and Shading. Tried 31 point in all areas
and could only get 1/2 of the bottom row of my border to show.
Tried other borders, same thing. Is this something to do with the
defaults set for the printer I have and if so how can you change
them to include the whole page.
