In Word doc. how to create a background within a text box

[Guest]

Sometime I use text boxes so i can move them within a sales sheet (that also
contains pictures in text boxes. When I Add a background color or texture it
doesn't affect the background of the text boxes. Is it possible to do so? It
this is not clear I can email a copy of what I'm working on to help out.

Thanks,
Ed

One more thing I can't figure. I want the background on the sheet to go all
the way to the edge of the paper. It appears to but when I go to Print
Preview it shows a white border and then prints the white border. Any help
is appreciated.
Thanks again

Most printers have an irreducible unprintable area (required for paper
handling). Even photo printers that claim to print borderless may be able to
do so only for smaller paper sizes or may require you to check a specific
setting in the printer Properties. Otherwise, to print "full bleed" you have
to do the same thing commercial printers do: print on larger paper and trim
to size.
