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.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.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/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.

I helped create letterheads at Group Health with their logo, and we always
put that into the HEADER rather than in the body of the document. This printed out just fine when we used plain paper. We also had printed letterhead paper we used for certain letters. But for the most part, we used the templates with the letterhead in it. How are you trying to set yours up? |

Charles,sorry for delay in replying.Really appreciate your help,have now
looked at all of the links suggested by you and understand the procedures much better. What I'm wondering however is if we will need to change the way we process work in order to use our own electronically produced (as opposed to printed off by ourselves) letterheading.At present each secretary and paralegal sets up one file each day for her daily typing - that file contains every letter produced that day,she doesn't open up a new document every time she types a new letter,not sure if there's any way of "importing" the letterheading document(it will be entirely a text file, no graphics) into each new letter as and when required.Anyway, thanks again for your help, Cyndy Duff "Charles Kenyon" wrote: 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.

Thanks for reply(got a bit confused at first as I'm Cynthia too and thought
your reply was my message!).I'm trying to set the letterhead up so that it's produced as part of the letter as opposed to printed off separately.I've tried your suggestion and those from another reply and I think I've got the hang of setting the letterhead up now. My only problem is that our secretaries and paralegals produce all of their days typing in one single,continuous file and I don't know whether the letterheading template can somehow be incorporated in this at the appropriate pages as and when needed.

If your typists put a next page section break between each letter, you can
use the same techniques--the letterhead will be in the First Page Header in every section. I can't remember offhand whether they will have to turn on First Page Header every time they create a section. Just make sure they are using a doc based on the letterhead template--then it will already be in there, you don't need to import it.
