Need help with Inserting background pic for letterhead
Hi ,
I've got an image file that is 1700 x 2200 pixels (8.5 x 11 letter size) that I would like to use as a template. So far I know of two different ways to insert it as the background pic and they give me two different problems: (using word 2007) Method 1) page layout page color fill effect choose picture on hdd... Using this method the background picture is not stretched to fit the page and when i click on print preview the layout is all messed up. The background appears to be bigger than the letter pad size and appears zoomed in. Method 2) Click Insert Picture and then manually stretch it to fit the page This method looks good on screen but during print preview the part of the right side of the image is cut off (text is fine) and I can see big borders on all sides. I do not want any borders as the image is supposed to fill the entire page and I need to stop the right side from getting cut off. I would appreciate any suggestions you can provide me in creating this letterpad. It's a highly graphical one and thats why I need it to stretch to fit the whole page. Please help! |

Almost certainly, your printer will not be able to print right to the edge
of the page and that is why you get the border with the second method. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

I have a photo printer Canon IP6600D and I have selected borderless printing, now the edges are fine but there is about a 1 inch gap on the top and bottom. Any ideas how to fix this? to see the document i am talking about please go to www.aceninja.com/letterpad.doc

You could try selecting folio size paper (8.5 x 13") but I think that might
only allow you to fix the bottom border problem and not the top. The next step then would be to actually use that size paper and cut off the borders. If you are doing much printing onto this paper, you are going to be running up quite a bill for ink cartridges and it might be cheaper to start with tinted paper onto which you print your logo. You would then however have to dispense with the darker band across the top of the sheet. -- Hope this helps.
