I have an image on a page I'm trying to print to bleed off the page in Word 2016. In previous versions of Word, I was able to adjust the non-printable area of the document to prevent a 1/4" white border every time I print. I am unable to locate where I can adjust that in Word 2016.

Were you using the same printer when you were able to do the bleed?
Word page layout is controlled by the printer through the printer driver. If the printer cannot bleed to the edge of the page, it will not allow Word to setup the page that way.
Hi,
In Word go to File> Page Setup:
Settings - should say Page Attributes
Format For - Should state Any Printer
Paper Size - click there and then click on Manage Custom Sizes
Click + to add new size - name it (whatever is relevant to you)
Click in the Paper Size boxes to make 210mm x 297mm which is A4 (or whatever you need)
Make sure Non-Printable Area says User Defined, and change all margins in boxes to 0
Click OK
Go to File>Print:
Printer - choose any
Presets - Standard/Default
Click on PDF - Save as PDF
Choose file name and save location
Click Save
Kind Regards,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately in the new version of Word, Page Setup menu does not provide these options. I am able to select my Paper Size, but it does not have anything that allows you to change or even see a non-printable area like previous versions of Word.
I have actually seen this article, and it is not helpful I'm afraid.
