Default template problem


Hi,

I read the article and i understand about using the header etc..

But I can not see how I get these exact heights. For example, lets say
I'm doing a corporate fax cover sheet. On the page, there has to be
the text 'To' at 55mm from top, then the text 'From' at 65.5mm from
top, then the text 'Date' at 105mm from top.

These have to be the exact measurments...how can make sure thats the
exact height from top where I am putting the text. Or even see exactly
how far from the top I am from any point...if I could tell how far I am
from the top at any point I could keep testing til I got it right.

Thanks,

Kieran

Ah, I missed the "using tabs." If you're trying to place an image, I was
assuming you were wrapping it; the Layout | Advanced dialog in Format |
Picture has the setting I referred to. Any text or graphics that you don't
want typing to interfere with should be placed in the header. This alone
will solve most problems; only users determined to "mess up" the letterhead
will do so. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for more.

Hi,

I am using Office 2003 and can not find this setting.

I go into Page Setup and have 'margins', 'paper' and 'layout'.

Could you identify how to get to this setting.

Thanks.

The vertical setting "From page" is measured from the top of the page.

Hi,

I need to create a Word template based on our company brand. I have
been given exact measurements for where to put the address and logo
etc..

Is there a way to set the position of image/text to a particular
height. For example, using tabs i can put text '35.5mm from left'.
But I can not see how to put it '65.5mm from top'. Obviously i have
the ruler turned on but its a very detailed height.

Also how do i make the template non-editable.

I want to have the template to a fileshare and allow users to click on
it and create their new docs from it, but not to be able to edit
certain parts i have entered. For example, using the letter template
they can enter text in a certain area but not mess up the company
address.

Thanks.
