I'm creating a letterhead for our Microsoft Word 4.0 users; it will be printed on their LaserWriters. As part of the letterhead, I want to create a vertical line starting about 2 inches from the top of the page, running right to the top edge. Since I'm creating some other PostScript code for the letterhead, I thought coding this in PostScript would be the easiest way. However, I run into the clipping boundary that I guess is being enforced by the 6.0 Laser Prep file. The vertical line is cut off about 1/3 inch from the edge of the page. Does anyone have any ideas how I can extend the clipping boundary to the top edge of the page to get around this? Thanks for any suggestions! -Goz Lyv (goz@vm.ucsf.edu)

In my previous posting, "right to the top edge" should have read "all the way to the top edge". Sorry for any confusion. -Goz

Don't hold your breath -- laser printers usually have *hardware* clipping regions. The printer simply doesn't have a means to get all the way to the edge of the page. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.

We're getting closer to the edge of the 11-inch side by checking "Larger
Print Area" in the Options button of Page Setup.

You can extend the line a bit by checking "larger print area" in the
page setup options dialog.
