I am trying to create a letterhead with a background picture. I want to
print the picture to a full A4 page - no margins at all - just the picture to
all four edges.

Help if you can.

You can easily create a document with a picture that covers the entire page;
see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm for the general
principles of inserting a wrapped picture Behind Text. But there is very
little likelihood that you will be able to print it on a desktop printer, as
most such printers have an irreducible minimum unprintable area required by
the feed mechanism. Even some photo printers that can print "borderless"
prints at, say, 4" x 6" using a special carrier may not be able to print
larger sheets without a border. If you feel your printer is capable of doing
this, check the printer Properties for a setting to enable this.
