How do I change the printable area in Word?

You don't. That is determined by the printer driver.

Hi!

Your printer naturally has an area you can't print on. But word also sets limits on where it can print. I make PDF documents with Word that have text on the non-printable area. In order to do this, I do the following:

- Click on File -> Page Setup...

- Now, for Paper Size, choose A4 Borderless, or US Letter Borderless, etc... depending on your page size. (To get this option, hover the mouse over A4 or US Letter, etc..)

- If you have a custom size, select Manage Custom Sizes... at the bottom, select your custom size and input zero for all the numbers under Non-Printable Area

I hope this helps!
