Proper approach for letterhead
If one desires to create letterhead stationary that
can be "typed into", how does one or what does one create for such purposes? A template? What? Our otherwise pre-printed letterhead has a logo on the upper right-hand corner plus horizontal and vertical lines parallel to and close to all four edges of a 8.5" x 11" paper and our mailing address immediately below the logo. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Bill |

Proper approach for letterhead
A template would be better than a what.

I'll study your recommendation in a day or so.

Proper approach for letterhead
Okay, I created the artwork that is required to satisfy
the requirements of the letterhead template. The header section of the template is filled with a JPEG image. Then, a frame was superimposed on the image allowing for easy variations of text content in the letterhead. Everything looks fine except that the header section required page margins that really aren't desirable for the document body. E.g., the header section is 8 inches wide while that isn't normally an appropriate column width for the body of the document. Is there a way to have different margins for the header than that of the body?

Proper approach for letterhead
Absolutely. In this case you're talking about the side margins, right? Just
give the header paragraph negative right and left indents in the required amounts. You can do different top margins, too; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm -- Suzanne S.

Proper approach for letterhead
Hi Suzanne,
I'd already read your URL, but I don't see how to, as you say, "Just give the header paragraph negative right and left indents." As I have it now, the left and right boundaries of the header section are dictated by whatever is set for the document. In order to achieve the proper size in the header section in which fits an 8 inch wide JPEG image, I have to set the page margins to .25 inches left and right. I don't see any handles on the header that would allow me to increase its width beyond the page boundaries. The only "paragraph" in the header is text that is centered in a borderless frame superimposed on the image. Can you explain a bit further for me? Thanks, Bill "Suzanne S.

Simply drag the margin markers on the ruler, when the header is selected; or
go to Format Paragraph and set the left and right indents explicitly. "Bill" wrote in message link.net...

Proper approach for letterhead
If the text is in a frame, then it is not bound by the margins and is not an
issue. But if you want the image to be In Line With Text (not in a frame), then you need to change the indents of the Header paragraph (which is the paragraph to which the frame is currently anchored. Displaying nonprinting characters will help you see the header paragraph (which is a single paragraph in Header style). As Jezebel says, you can drag the indent markers on the ruler, or you can right-click and choose Format Paragraph, then enter negative amounts for the left and right indents in the Paragraph dialog. -- Suzanne S.

When I set the margins for the body, the header section
is affected as well. If I then select the header and drag the margins the body changes with it. If there's a trick to changing them independently, I haven't found it yet.

Proper approach for letterhead
Though I'd very much like to know how to independently
control margins between the header and body, I solved my current problem with the exclusive use of frames. I'm used to using frames in Access, so for me to be able to stretch the borders of frames to suit myself makes the whole situation much easier. Bill "Bill" wrote in message hlink.net...

Proper approach for letterhead
AH! That explains what I see happening. I think
I'll stick with the use of frames in this instance, particularly since I have it done and it works perfectly. Thanks again, Bill \ "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Hi Suzanne, I'd already read your URL, but I don't see how to, as you say, "Just give the header paragraph negative right and left indents." As I have it now, the left and right boundaries of the header section are dictated by whatever is set for the document. In order to achieve the proper size in the header section in which fits an 8 inch wide JPEG image, I have to set the page margins to .25 inches left and right. I don't see any handles on the header that would allow me to increase its width beyond the page boundaries. The only "paragraph" in the header is text that is centered in a borderless frame superimposed on the image. Can you explain a bit further for me? Thanks, Bill "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Absolutely. In this case you're talking about the side margins, right? Just give the header paragraph negative right and left indents in the required amounts. You can do different top margins, too; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm -- Suzanne S.

"Bill" wrote in message hlink.net... Okay, I created the artwork that is required to satisfy the requirements of the letterhead template. The header section of the template is filled with a JPEG image. Then, a frame was superimposed on the image allowing for easy variations of text content in the letterhead. Everything looks fine except that the header section required page margins that really aren't desirable for the document body. E.g., the header section is 8 inches wide while that isn't normally an appropriate column width for the body of the document. Is there a way to have different margins for the header than that of the body?

That particular bit is explained in my article at
