how do we create a corporate letterhead preventing alteration?
we cannot use the 'protect/unprotect' features of W2K3, because the dictation
service needs to be able to write to the properties of the document. we put the logo and addresses in the header of the first page, but now how do we get users to open the doc and start typing at x/y coordinates, etc. this cannot be anything new to the Word World. |

Use a letterhead *template* with the logo and masthead in the firstpage
header. http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm It doesn't need protecting and by being a header will not be accidentally changed. Nothing you can do will stop malicious users from screwing up your best laid plans - but training is the obvious solution. Tell the users what is required to use that template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org OASYS wrote: we cannot use the 'protect/unprotect' features of W2K3, because the dictation service needs to be able to write to the properties of the document. we put the logo and addresses in the header of the first page, but now how do we get users to open the doc and start typing at x/y coordinates, etc. this cannot be anything new to the Word World. |

I did try that of course, however, the key is getting the cursor to start at
the right spot when they open the document. Right now if they open the template the cursor is on the logo in the header, not in the body of the message. By "sectionalizing" we can change the margins and the cursor is correct, and by protecting seciton 1, they can't write in that (header) area, so the writing begins in the 'body' where they want it. Is this making sense?

If the logo is actually *in* the header, there is no way the insertion point
will be on it when the document is opened. In addition to the article Graham referenced, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm -- Suzanne S.
