[Pages:1]How do I create Bleed in Microsoft Word?
Many will tell you can't - well in fact you can.
These basic instructions are for Word 2007 for Windows.
You may have to adapt them for other versions.
Let's assume you want an A4 document and you want images to go right to the edge of the sheet.
From what we read earlier, we now know that we have to extend these images off the edge of the page so when guillotined down, we end up with a nice clean edge with no white border showing.
In Microsoft Word, the only way to do this is to make the sheet bigger than A4 to included the Bleed area.
Open up a new document - A4. In the Page Layout Tab; Size > More Paper Sizes Change the width to 216mm (21.6cm) and the height to 303mm (30.3cm). Press OK and you've now got a sheet that's 3mm bigger than A4 on all 4 edges. So, you've now got room for the Bleed
Now we need to set the `Safe Area'. The area within which we should put all text and other important data so it doesn't go too close to the edge of the sheet and run the risk of being cut off.
So in the Page Layout > Margins > Custom Margins, change all 4 margins to 1.0cm. Press OK and `Ignore' any warning messages about margins being outside of the printable area.
Now, go to the View tab and make sure `Gridlines' is checked. (Note. The gridlines won't print so don't worry).
You're now ready to start designing.
Any important text or data should be kept inside the gridlines but images that you want to print right to the edge of the sheet need to `kiss' the very edge of the document.
This means that if you want to place images on the page that need to Bleed , just drag them to the edge of the sheet. Remember that we'll cut about 3mm off.
When you have finished your design you need to create a PDF.
