Hi there,

I'd like to put thick coloured bars at the top and bottom of my word 2003
document. I haven't used borders beacuse they are not thick enough.

I've drawn an autoshape rectangle that is the desired height, with a width
equivalent to the page width, coloured it and pasted it in headers/footer.
In the normal view it looks fine. I have a nice band at the top and at the
bottom
of the document.

However, in print view, the story is different.
A short white margin appears to the left and right.
It doen't matter if i resize the autoshape, change the paper size or
the header/footer distance from the edge.

Any ideas would be welcome
