Document Template question
Hi! I've created a nifty letterhead for my boss. Now, how do I "freeze" the
template so she can type up her letters using it? I've saved it using the Document Template but if I open a new document using that template and I start to type, all the graphics start moving around etc. So what am I missing here? Thanks! Carmen |

Document Template question
Oh! You need to make text form fields wherever she's allow to type.
View toolbars forms click on the insert form field (right-click on it to specify text length) Then protect the document so the user can only type in the fields. Tools protect document edit restrictions. Think of a template as only a copy of what you'd like the document to look like. And forms are for restricting content and user ease. Tip: Make sure she has "field shading" option turned of in fields so she doesn't have to see the grey box that a form field brings. Tools Options View Field Shading never Hope this helps!

Document Template question
My guess is that the graphics and such are part of a letterhead that should
be in the First Page Header. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Charles! And Suzanne and Angel as well. You've all given me two
different ways of doing this, which I think is great! C. "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ... Put it in a First-Page Header.
