How Can I Get Border Art to Fill Edges of Blank Page?

[Infoman]

Hi...

I see a couple of borders (clip art in Office Online) that I like for an
invitation, but I can not figure out how to get this border to fill the edges
of the entire page in either 2007 WORD or 2007 PUBLISHER.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks...

Andy

In Publisher 2007 I would create a text box
on a Master Page the full size of the project
and apply the borderart to it.

Hi, John...

Well, thanks to you, I ALMOST have it... ;-)

Master page shows full border after I sized it (after the text box was added
and sized)...but even though it LOOKS okay, print preview still shows about
1/4 inches of white border around the border art. Don't want the white -
want the full border - and this white is cutting out half of the actual
border. I hope this makes sense - wish I could show you a screenshot or two.
I tried to set margins to "0", but maybe I didn't do this correctly, because
the white border still appears - border art doesn't go to the edges of the
page, which is what I need.

Suggestions?

Thanks...

Andy

Apparently your printer does not print (full bleed)
to the edge. Maybe the following article will help
you determine the printable area of your printer.

Hi, John...

Look story short, with you help and the help of Mary (MSVP), I got it to
work with PUBLISHER....

On a blank page, I sized a text box to the full page....added the border
clip art, sized that to the full page....added a second text box for text,
then grouped and saved the whole thing as a picture. That did the trick.
Additionally, it sitll has abouyt 1/8 inch of white around the border, but
it's my printer - solid ink, not lazer, and solid ink printers do not print
up to the edge because of "bleeding" issues.

Thanks so much!

Andy
