How do I get rid of Publisher 2000 page margins

[MJORDAN552]

It's so typical of Microsoft to presume they know what's best for the user. I'm printing a folder using the newsletter template (it's the closest thing that will given me a 11 x 17 layout. I start with a text box that cvovers the entire page then fill it in with color before I overlay the other elements. When I print the page I have white space margin all the way around! I don't want a margain. How do I get rid of it?

Could the white space be caused by the printer rather than MSPub? My guess is your printer isn't printing full "bleed" but rather leaving room for whatever reason, possibly to grab the paper and move it thru without smudging. As a suggestion, I'd look at your printer settings and see if it has the ability to print edge to edge.

I usually check the printing area of any printer by drawing a big rectangle that overlaps the edges of the page, and fill it with dark grey (or black, depending on printer) and then print. The area left over is the non-printing area. I usually file it at work because it can happen that I may use a number of printers, all with different non-printing areas.

Having access to a guillotine (!) is always helpful.
