How do I get rid of white borders on a Word page

[Sean P]

I'm trying to create a letterhead and have a "banner" at the top of the page
but, when printing and in print preview, Word ads a white border.
How do I get rid of it?
Thanks

Are you trying to print something like a colored background to the edge of
the paper?

There's probably no way around this, as most desktop printers are
mechanically incapable of printing "full bleed" (to the edge of the page).
If you have a photo printer that claims to print "borderless," this may be
only for certain small paper sizes (with a special tray), or you may have to
change a setting in the printer Properties to do so. The alternative is to
do what commercial printers do: print on larger paper and trim.

Yes, that's the intent.
Thanks
