atw: Setting a coloured border in a flyer

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
