The following is a standard answer, because it works. Header means header,
not heading.

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:

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/IS...ncecheckbookA/

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.

Hope this helps,

Help :-) I've searched all over the place and found dozens of almost
complete answers... all I want to do is place a logo in the top left
corner of the first page such that it prints along with my letters rather
than printing stationary in one pass and then sending those pages through
the printer again.

People have answered put the image in the header, send the image to the
background, how about a watermark, etc., etc. I don't know if they just
give out answers without trying it or they assume our settings are the
same or what is happening but it just about never works. I created a
template, looks great. I use the template, hey it's working, delete some
text... oops there goes the logo. That can't be what people are asking
for when they pose this question.

If it's difficult does somebody know of a site that outlines it? The logo
has to be placed in a particular spot on the page. It's letterhead so it
should only appear on the first page (so I don't think I want to imbed it
into a header) besides wouldn't that use up the header if we needed to use
that also? If we type text it shouldn't start pushing the graphic around
the page. If we select all and delete the stuff we typed it would be
ideal if the logo and anything else we consider part of the template
remained.

I don't know enough about Word to know if it has a sense of "layers" but
generally speaking we just want a background layer that for all intents
and purposes acts like the paper. If it needs to be modified then the
template would be modified not the document based upon it.

Thanks so much for any pointers, particular to a step 1, step 2, step 3,
voila... wasn't this easier than you imagined sort of document :-)
