PowerPoint Print - Question: Printout without white border at the

[Guest]

I am trying to get a printout of the slide without having the white border at top, bottomm and left/right sides of the slide.
The background is blue and I wold like to have this color without the white borders.

Unfortunately you can't because the slide dimensions are set up for 7.5 x 10
to give you a half-inch border around your slide to accommodate limitations
of most printers. You can try setting your slide size to 8.5 x 11 (File,
Page setup), but you will find that it still can't get much closer (if any
at all).

Nearly all printers are physically incapable of printing clear to the edges of
the paper. It's a mechanical limitation of the printer, not a PowerPoint
limitation. If the printer happens to be one that can fill a page, you can put
a check next to Fit To Page (or words to that effect) in PPT's print dialog box
and as long as the slide size is proportional to the printer page size, it'll
fill the page.

Or you can print to slightly oversize paper and trim the white off.
