I am attempting to list names down theleft-hand side of a page as a watermark
for letterhead. I can get 2/3 of the names in, but lose the rest. How can I
extend the area to get all the names in?

[Jay Freedman]

I'm not sure what causes the 2/3 problem, especially since you didn't say
whether they're being cut off horizontally or vertically. Instead of using
the watermark feature, use a text box as described in
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm under "More complex
letterhead". If desired, you can set the text box wrapping to "Behind text"
and set the font color of its contents to a lighter shade of gray, and it
will behave like a watermark.

Thanks so much. The cut off is vertical, but the "setting up letter
templates" is exactly what I need.

Thanks again!

I was able to accomplish the left-hand side of the page, but it is not
working as a template. When I type text in the body of the letter portion,
it doesn't print out.
How can I 'fix' this?

What doesn't print out? The body of the letter or the letterhead? If the
latter, and you've used a text box, make sure that you have "Drawing
objects" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options.

All I get to print is the header/footer/text box. The body of the letter
disappears.
