How to Make Picture Fill the Whole Page in MS Word | Letterhead Without Margin | Move Image Freely

In this video I demonstrate how to make a background picture fill the whole page within a Microsoft Word document. By default you cannot move a picture freely within a Word document and the image is indented from the edge of the page by the document's margins. If you want to ignore the margins and move the image freely, you need to change the wrap options of the image.
To resize the image correctly you need to get the dimensions of your document's page. Once sized correctly it is easy to automatically centre the image horizontally and vertically.
If you have something like a letterhead, you would be better placing the image in the header of the document.
Table of Contents:
00:00 - Introduction
00:13 - Make a photo fill the whole of the page
03:03 - Make a letterhead fill the whole of a page
04:10 - Insert letterhead in the header of the document

Finding videos like these is the best thing ever, I was so close to tearing my hear out

[@Milaa9987]

Wow, what a hidden gem of a video! Clear and easy-to-follow. I will definitely be coming back to watch this again!!

[@imbobindy4792]

Just a quick addition to your valuable video which helped me resolve my issue quickly - and it's that users may need to correct the colour/gradients of their images once they have placed them in the header of their documents. Thank you

[@carlabrutico6978]

Have used your instructions several times now for various pictures around our home. They look great! Thanks again for a very clear tutorial.

[@tracypaddock8405]

You saved. My sanity. Thank you so much, Chester, for helping me remove the dreaded 'white line' that appears below or above the 'full page image' if you skip the Align Objects option. I publish my books by formatting them in Word, so this has been super helpful!

[@shakiraj5848]

I've been bursting my brains on how to get this done. Thank you so much!!

[@designssharonleehudson7353]

Words cannot describe my gratitude. It is incredibly useful. Thank you.

[@carlabrutico6978]

This is the best explanation and demonstration I have found! Many thanks for making it simple. I tried other websites that wanted me to subscribe for a fee in order to access their info. I am very happy to have found this.

[@stevemel7967]

Been trying to do this for months. Finally found this video. Thank you for this, it worked for my book formatting. You made it easy for me to figure out. Now i'm motivated again thanks to you

Hi Chester. Greetings from the UK. Any chance you could you do a video or explain before my head explodes how to create a drop down menu within a cell that has lets say different measurements of a bit of rope, 1 meter, 2 meter , 3 meter, 4 meter for example. Once I pick the required size (2 meter) I then need the costing to automatically change in another cell. This cell will then tally up with other costings. Thank you.

[@abdikani_Curious]

You have got all my respect dear sir. Thank you for teaching me this i have been struggling for more than 2 weeks. Sir how can i fit the whole word page if the picture is half of the page without dragging???????

[@mahsamzd]

Thankyou..

[@michellepatrick8342]

I followed all the steps you mentioned before coming here to have an image cover the entire page and the steps don't work. In the Word program it appears the image covers the page but when you go to print, it gives a print preview with large white borders around the outer edges of the image. I got rid of header and footer, no margins, my image is sized to 8.5" x 11" and still the problem with the large white borders persist. Any suggestions, since MS doesn't answer this question when asked on their site. Thanks.

[@coltfranks4172]

I am having the same issue. Still haven’t figured out how to resolve this.

[@katieclevelandart]

You’ll need to take it to a print shop in order to have the image print to the edge. All at home printers will do this. You need what’s called a bleed on the doc.

[@yagamilightfinal]

I was able to follow the steps and get the samer result shown in the video but when I check the print preview there is margin on all sides

[@kumar-xg7mx]

[@falconix5642]

So I managed to replicate this with the free version (website) By making margins 0 and using some of the steps like unticking aspect ratio and wrap text Although am not sure if the image is altered or not (it probably is)

[@carlabrutico6978]

I followed all instructions to the letter but making some mistake when putting n the page size measurements. I am using 8.5x11 inch paper , using 27.9 cm for height and 21.5 cm for width - the page is just way too big. I did uncheck the aspect ratio prior to putting in measurements. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

[@carlabrutico6978]

found the issue: using cm like you did - I put inches and it is corrected and right size! Thanks

[@mpumisetshedii]

Hi, how did you change the settings to cm?

[@kevint4374]

How do you set it so it doesn't click on it and move? This worked grear for me to put my proposal form on but if i accidentally click on the page it moves it off of being centered. Is there a way to save this so that i can pull this up and fill in the blanks on my document without worrying about clicking the document and moving it off of being centered?

[@philb.1120]

How do I make my footer/header image not so washed out?

[@digitaldiary666]

please make a video for excel header also

[@mayapapaya89]

What if you don't want any text on the photo? I'm using it as a cover page but I don't want the header to be there

[@sanajcv]

But print not come full picture.

[@hozibantul6783]

how to lock logo from left right margin in headerfooter

[@littoy]

Why is it so hard to do this? It should be something "fill the whole page".
