letter heading to cover full page width
Using office 2007 in 'word' I would like my letter heading/logo to cover full
width of page and then have normal margins for the rest of the page. so far when I try resetting margins 'from this point on' the programme sends me to a new page. Any advice will be appreciated. |

letter heading to cover full page width
Hi,
You shouldn't need to change the page margins to use a logo that covers the full page width. All you really need to do is to format the image's layout as square, center it horizontally and make its width the same as that of the page. Do note, though, that no matter what you do, most printers will be unable to print to the very edge of the page. That's because most printers require a small area around the edges for the paper transport mechanism. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Letter Heading in Office Word" Letter Heading in Office wrote in message ...

To add to what macropod has said, you can insert the image inline as well,
but you'll need to add negative indents to the header paragraph. For example, if you have 1" left and right margins, you'll have to apply -1" left and right indents to the header. But do note the caveat about full-bleed printing. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "macropod" wrote in message ...

letter heading to cover full page width
Hi Suzanne,
I think that, if an in-line format is used, centring the paragraph will allow the image to automagically extend beyond the text margins. My only concern with the in-line approach is that, once you've got a full-width graphic, the paragraph marker will be forced to the next line, thus increasing the header size. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Suzanne S.

No, an inline image may not extend beyond the margins; it will be reduced in
size to fit between the margins (or indents). The paragraph mark does not take up any space and will not be forced to the next line. I have tested this, inserting an image into a paragraph with negative left and right indents equal to the side margins. The image is initially inserted at 21% (margin width) despite the indents (the same thing that happens if I insert it into a paragraph without the indents). If I increase the image width to 8.5", the image fills the page, and the paragraph mark is not forced down. -- Suzanne S.
