Print 100% of page

How do I print a page, with a picture that I have inserted to a word 2003
doc. Then stretched to fit, up/down, left/right, to fit 100% of the page
exactly. Then print with no white gaps on any sides. I have selected 0" for
the margins and ignored the fix it tab, slected Bordeless Letter and 0"for
headers. Still no luck.

The big question is whether your printer is capable of printing to the edge
of the paper. Most are not. The fact that Word is offering to "fix" your
settings when you print suggests that your printer is not one of the more
expensive printers that can do this kind of printing.

Most printers aren't capable of printing all the way to the edge of the paper.
They require some unprintable area for paper handling. Ones that can print "full
bleed" usually can do so only in a photo mode that's set through the printer's
Properties dialog, not through Word.

The alternative is to trim the paper after printing -- that's how commercial
printshops do it.

Hi Herb,

Thanks for the reply.

I have printed to the edge of the paper with some other tests (pictures)
where the pic file is short and fat (prints to both side edges) then tall and
skinny (prints to top & bottom edges). So I know that the printer can do it.

I have had a minor develpoment in that when I choose "Print" and then go to
"Properties" I have now selcected "Scale To Fit" and this has helped a
little. The picture then does not move on the page but has a slim white
border around the whole picture. I still would like not to have this
blankness around the edges but have the remainder of the picture that this
cuts away.

????

Thanks,
Mark

The only other thing I can think of would be to check in your printer
properties to see if there is a "borderless" print option.Using a Canon
Pixma printer, that option is in Properties - Page Setup, under Page Layout.
Locations/availability of printing options varies by printer/manufacturer.
