Hello

I am trying to print a slide from PowerPoint as a full 8.5x11 image. I set it up as an 8.5x11 in the page setup, but the printout still has white borders. I am trying for a full cover print...any ideas?? Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
 
Some depends on your printer (are you able to print full page from other
applications) and some is a limit of PowerPoint. If your printer does
edge-to-edge printing, I suggest doing a SAVE AS and select TIFF TAG IMAGE
FILE FORMAT (note: this saves out each slide as a graphic, so if you have a
presentation with lots of slides, it may be easier to delete all but the
needed one). Create a new 11"x8.5" (landscape) document in your preferred
layout program (or image editor). Insert the .tif of you slide to fit the
entire page and print from there.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for.
Instead, PowerPoint always prints the slide area centered in the printable
area for the printer (defined by the print driver, not by PowerPoint). If
that print area is smaller than the page size then the slide will print
centered in this smaller area leaving white margins on the page.

PowerPoint 2002 and PowerPoint 2003 include a "Print Preview" feature so
that you can see how slides will print (show the white margin) before you
print your presentations.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint print
preview could/should make it easier to understand this printer/driver
limitation, don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
