Hi Daiya

As I said in my response to Suzanne...

"The nuance in Yogurt Man's original request that I missed was that he
didn't want the text of the letter to print in the narrowed region at all if
the letter required a second page... in that case, he wanted the bottom
margin to increase so that the last line of his letter text would be above
the graphic on his letterhead (1.87" from the bottom of the sheet). If the
letter including signature didn't require a second page, it was acceptable
for the signature to be adjacent to the graphic printed on the bottom of the
letterhead sheet.

That could be resolved by the use of a macro (OnSave??) that would see if a
certain paragraph style is on page 1 or page 2 and if the paragraph style is
on page 2 then increase the size of the text box on page 1. "

Best regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,

The difference between the "text box in a first page footer" and the
original request is cosmetic--Yogurt Man seemed to want the text to end
above the graphic completely, leaving the space to the left of the
graphic blank on a 2-page letter. This route puts text in that space.
Yogurt's Man later post suggested that would look terrible, in his
opinion.

I pointed out that I had already made the suggestion of a "text box in a
first page footer" because I felt that someone familiar enough with Word
to identify this as a good approach should also be able to read what I
said and recognize that it was the same thing, even if lacking concrete
directions.

You may have been confused by my ungrammatical "I suggest it's not the
route" in which "it's" was meant to refer back to Yogurt Man's original
idea of dynamic margins (not the "textbox in a first page footer"
route). That sentence was meant to respond to his question "Why do you
suggest this is probably NOT the route?". I had re-arranged my
paragraphs and made them a little less comprehensible without updating
the language.

What I suggested would use the text box only on the bottom of page one,
so
text on page one would wrap around the text box but there would be no
text
box on page two or subsequent pages. The text box wouldn't contain any
text
but would only be used as an object to force text to wrap around it on
the
first page only. Far as I can tell, that satisfies all of Yogurt Man's
requirements without any need for complex macro solutions. It allows the
signature on the left, next to the image on the letterhead when there's
only
a single page worth of content but when there's more than one page of
content, the content itself wraps around the text box on the first page
only. When using letterhead one normally uses the letterhead for the
first
page then unprinted paper for subsequent pages. Unless I'm missing
something
here about what Yogurt Man really wants to accomplish (and yes, I have
been
known to do that now and again grin).
