atw: Re: Setting a coloured border in a flyer

Thanks for these suggestions, but I will not be printing the flyers myself. I was going to email them to each location and then the Admin staff will print them and put them up. If I have to send hard copies it will take much longer to distribute the communications. But I suppose if I don't find another way, that is what I will have to do.

Hi guys,
I am writing a number of targeted messages to be produced as flyers.
These messages are aimed to communicate information about the
progress
of a particular project and will be updated every few days with new information. The messages will be posted in both electronic format
(on
electronic boards) and in hard copy (on notice boards) in different locations in the business. The messages are a combination of text
and 
graphics and I am creating the content in MS Visio and then
converting 
them to gif format.

I would like each message to display with a coloured border around
it 
(right up to the edges), making them look more professional and
stand
out more on a notice board. I need some suggestions on how to best achieve this. I added a border to my Visio screens, but when I
print 
them I still get a white print border outside my coloured border.
There 
does not seem to be a way to get rid of this print border in Visio.
The 
same white border displays when I print the gif.  I  tried pasting
the 
graphic into Word and set the borders to zero, but this did not work
either. 
Any ideas would be welcome.
all the best
Ilana
