Hi there,

I have created a new paper size, 70mm wide and a height of 44mm. We have
bought a label printer to print labels and this is the size of the printer.

For some reason I cannot get the layout to have the first line of my text
at the very top and bottom. I also want to be able to rint to the very edge
of the paper.
Even though I have set the top and bottom margins to some 0.2cm I cannot
get to the very top.

Will someone please advice on how to do that. I am very new to MS Word and
would like to learn.

Unless you have a very unusual printer, you cannot do this. Commercial
printers generally trim after printing to print to the edge of the page
because the printer needs to be able to grab a non-printed area to move the
paper through the printer. The setting is in your printer and in the printer
driver software, not in Word.
