Now that I can successfully embed graphics into a template, here is my next
question...

Once you create a multipage document, you can change the header/footers, but
how do you set up a template to use a different header/footer automatically
on a subsequent page if the page is not created yet?

Of course, this involves a different graphic. I assume that there is some
vbcoding involved - the real question is how would you store the graphic in
the template.

Thanks!

Mike

You can either set up the Header first, before checking "Different first
page," then set up the First Page Header, or you can insert a page break
temporarily. In either case, Word will remember the Header even if your
template is only one page. For more, see

No coding required, just a little bit of time and planning. 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

Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial

Template Basics

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.

Hope this helps,
