letter heading to cover full page width

[Letter Heading in Office Word]

Using office 2007 in 'word' I would like my letter heading/logo to cover full
width of page and then have normal margins for the rest of the page.
so far when I try resetting margins 'from this point on' the programme sends
me to a new page. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi,

You shouldn't need to change the page margins to use a logo that covers the full page width. All you really need to do is to format
the image's layout as square, center it horizontally and make its width the same as that of the page.

Do note, though, that no matter what you do, most printers will be unable to print to the very edge of the page. That's because most
printers require a small area around the edges for the paper transport mechanism.

To add to what macropod has said, you can insert the image inline as well,
but you'll need to add negative indents to the header paragraph. For
example, if you have 1" left and right margins, you'll have to apply -1"
left and right indents to the header. But do note the caveat about
full-bleed printing.

Hi Suzanne,

I think that, if an in-line format is used, centring the paragraph will allow the image to automagically extend beyond the text
margins. My only concern with the in-line approach is that, once you've got a full-width graphic, the paragraph marker will be
forced to the next line, thus increasing the header size.

No, an inline image may not extend beyond the margins; it will be reduced in
size to fit between the margins (or indents). The paragraph mark does not
take up any space and will not be forced to the next line.

I have tested this, inserting an image into a paragraph with negative left
and right indents equal to the side margins. The image is initially inserted
at 21% (margin width) despite the indents (the same thing that happens if I
insert it into a paragraph without the indents). If I increase the image
width to 8.5", the image fills the page, and the paragraph mark is not
forced down.
