I wouldn't scan it if I were going to print on letterhead. Just measure your
spaces to allow for them. 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) Pay
attention to the textbox tutorial listed below for spacing for your
letterhead.

Hello,
I am having trouble microsoft word. I have a preprinted letter that I
would
like to use (letterhead with material printed on top, bottom, and left
hand
side). The letter was created so that I can add some simple demographic
information to each unique letter, and then print it out. Is it possible
to
scan this letter and use word to write the necessary information, and then
print it out on my letterhead?
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the computer file for this letter.
Please help.
