Making Word behave like a desktop publisher?
Hi all,
I have a brochure to produce that, for various reasons, needs to be developed in Word. What I am trying to do (but cannot seem to achieve) is to have a thumbnail graphic (solid colour block with chapter number) that appears on the very edge of the printed page. Is there a trick for this? I've tried everything I can think of but I still get the white edge ... Thanks in anticipation. Sharon M. |

Making Word behave like a desktop publisher?
The vast majority of printer drivers will not allow you to print to the edge
of the page. Word will only display what the current printer driver will allow. If you have eg Adobe Acrobat on your PC, which will allow 'printing' to the edge of the paper, and set it as active printer, you will be able to format the document as you require (though when the resulting file is printed to paper you will have the same problem) If you want to put a page number field in that box - then make that box a borderless frame (not a text box), with a colour fill, placed in the page header. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sharon M. wrote: Hi all, I have a brochure to produce that, for various reasons, needs to be developed in Word.
