Default how to setup a letterhead that does not print

If you have your logo inserted by means of an { INCLUDEPICTURE
"Path//Filename" } field and you select it and insert a bookmark named logo,
you can use the following code in a macro to toggle the display of the logo
on and off

With ActiveDocument
If .Bookmarks.Exists("Logo") Then
With .Bookmarks("Logo").Range.Font
If .Hidden = True Then
.Hidden = False
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True
Else
.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False
End If
End With
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End With

The best thing to do is put this code in template that you save into the
Word Startup folder and add a toolbar to that template with a button on it
to run the macro. When you do that, the button/macro will be available for
use on all documents that contain such a bookmarked IncludePicture field.

Thanks for your comments Doug, but that's not quite what I am after. In
essence, I would love the option to be able to make my document look like
my
letter head, without it printing the same letter head on top of my
preprinted
letter head. It would be great if there was something like a stationary
option where I could just choose an A4 sized image I'd made (to look like
my
A4 stationary) and set it as the document background, but that background
wouldn't print. Does this option exists? Some people may be thinking its
not
necessary, and your solution is what I'd already setup, but I would like
to
be able to have it look like the actual A4 stationary letterhead I use,
not
just work when I print it. Does this make sense?

Anchor a textbox in the header of the document and set its size and
textwrapping such that the text does not overlap your pre-printed
letterhead.
