printing backgrounds in word
I am wondering if there is a way to add a background in a word document like
a letter head and footer and then when you print for it not to show up? as I already have pre printed letter head paper. I'm using word 2007. thanks |

Why not just set up a blank template with the top and bottom margins set far
enough in to avoid the pre-printed letterhead? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Ryan" wrote in message ...

JoAnn's method is certainly the simplest approach, but where you may have a
document that is sometimes printed on letterheaded stationery and sometimes on plain paper it can be useful to have the option to print without the graphic or header/footer text. It is a fairly simple matter to set up a page with a different first page header and in that first page header insert a graphic or graphics (scanned?) of your letterhead and set the layout property to wrap text. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm The graphic will under normal circumstances print. However you can toggle its display on or off with a macro http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub ToggleHeaderGraphics() Dim i As Long Selection.HomeKey wdStory ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader For i = 1 To Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes.Count With Selection .HeaderFooter.Shapes("Picture " & i).Select If .ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 1# Then .ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 0.5 Else .ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 1# End If End With Next i ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument End Sub The macro works by toggling the brightness of the image(s) between 50% (normal) and 100% (white out). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ryan wrote: I am wondering if there is a way to add a background in a word document like a letter head and footer and then when you print for it not to show up? as I already have pre printed letter head paper.
