Hi, I am having trouble printing an A4 sized picture in Word. Basically,
there is always a white border on my pictures, (ie all of the page is not my
picture). Is there any way of removing this? I have adjusted the
header/footer and margins to the least, but I cannot do it..please help!
Thanks

The unprintable area of the page is determined by your printer driver. But
some users who have printers capable of printing to the edge of the page
have still reported having problems doing so from Word.

Most printers cannot print right to the edge of the paper so you will nearly
always get a border. If you have a printer capable of printing A3, then you
can print to something slightly larger that A4 and trim it to A4 size.

The vast majority of printers are incapable of printing to the edge of the
paper. The limits are set in the printer driver and not user configurable.
