Thumbs up Answer: How do I change the "printable area"?

To change the printable area in Microsoft Word:
  1. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on the "Margins" button.
  3. Select "Custom Margins" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  4. In the "Page Setup" dialog box that appears, you'll see a section labeled "Margins." Adjust the values for the top, bottom, left, and right margins until your border fits within the printable area.
  5. Click "OK" to save your changes.

If you're still having trouble getting your border to fit within the printable area, you may need to adjust the size of your document:
  1. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on the "Size" button.
  3. Select "More Paper Sizes" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  4. In the "Page Setup" dialog box that appears, you'll see a section labeled "Paper." Adjust the values for the width and height until your border fits within the printable area.
  5. Click "OK" to save your changes.
