How-to Use A Letterhead Layout Inside Word

Q: How-to use a letterhead layout inside word Word 2000 I would like to use a custom designed Letterhead in word that consists of a header image and an image that runs along the left portion of the page. On a 8.5 x 11 page the active area for the letters contents would start 3.375 inches from the top edge of the page and 2.25 inches from the left edge of the page. This is where I would like to place the letters contents. In the top and bottom margins I would like to place a jpeg image of the letterheads graphics. Any suggestions on how this could be accomplished? I have tried using frames and find that only 1 frame will print at a time.

A: Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.zebra.net/~sbarnhill/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download/index.htm#LetterheadTextboxesAndS... Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0789729555/balancecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.
