1/2" bleed to edge
I made a flyer/ad and the person i sent it to send me the following.
"In order for the grey background to trim to the edge of the page, I need about 1/2" bleed on the edge. In other words, the file you send me needs to be bigger than the actual page size with bleed space included." Does that mean i have to resize the entire file(text, tables, pictures)? i really don't want to do that as there is alot. What can i do to get that 1/2" bleed on the edge? I am using Publisher 2007 Thanks in advance |

And what are you saying? Making your page size bigger didn't work?

If the article didn't help, I think you'd be better served asking this on a
printer specific web site. I can suggest creating a background to fit larger than your flyer. Maybe a light shade that won't take away from your creation. Bleeds in the USA and UK generally are 1/8 of an inch from where the cut is to be made. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Cork2" wrote in message ... i did that tutorial before i posted this, and those were already selected.

oh.
depends on what's bleeding - if an image goes to bleed you may be able to just reposition it...otherwise if it's just the bg it should be no big deal. 1/2 bleed sounds kinda big btw. make a backup before you change the page size! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression "Cork2" wrote in message ... | no i was asking what it meant if i had to resize everything like pictures and | text and tables cause i have alot of it there i was looking for a quicker way | to do that and a way to do that bleeding he wants. | | "Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote: | | And what are you saying?

No, you need to resize your page without resizing your objects, to give an area that might or might not print. If you have objects forming the background (like a fill or a pattern) then you will have to resize those. Text and content objects should stay the same size. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |
