I noticed on Powerpoint2007 when I go to print the slides, the picture is not 
fitting the whole page. There is a white border all the way around. In 2003 
power point if you checked scale to fit paper when printing the whole picture 
printed edge to edge. Is there a way to fix this in 2007 so the picture 
prints edge to edge?

Hi,

I am sorry that you are experiencing those problems in PPT.  I am not fully 
aware of the main issue with that but I think that it may be either page 
margin problems or your printer might be thinking it is another paper 
size(try checking the page size in your presentation).

Let me know how it goes. If you have any other questions please let me know, 
I will be glad to help you.

Are you using a different printer than you were with PPT 2003? These two FAQ 
articles might shed some light:

Margins are wrong, printout is off-center, can't print to edge, printing is 
cut off

To do that you'll need to:

- Find a printer that's physically capable of printing edge to edge.  Most of 
them aren't.  Or ...

- Print to a larger paper size and trim the printouts down to the size you 
actually want.
