Printing Bleeds
In printer's terminology, printing right to the physical edge of the paper is
called a "bleed". My printer is a high end laser that is perfectly capable of this task and I can do it from programs like Quark. Perhaps unfortunately, I have a number of WORD documents in which I would like to use "bleeds". The page sizes are all non-standard, so I have to create a custom page size in FilePageSetup. When I attempt to fill that page with stuff, WORD will not print right to the edge. I get messages saying that the text is "Outside of the printable area" (or similar) and the text (actually in my case it is a picture in a text box) gets truncated at the edges. How do I do a "bleed"? Thanks for your help. |

Printing Bleeds
Can you do a full bleed non-standard size in other programs?

Printing Bleeds
Hello JoAnn
Yes, MS Publisher and Quark Express do it fine. However I have found the trick to do it in Word. Make the custom page size a bit larger than necessary and put up with the warning that the margins are outside of the printable area. Fortunately Word allows one to ignore the warning rather than reseting the margins. When the printer actually trims the paper it will get trimmed to the edge of the object (generally a picture or sidebar) properly. Thanks.
