Default Creating company letterhead in word

This works best if you anchor the graphic to the First Page Header, in which
case you probably want Square wrapping unless there's part of the letterhead
you really want to have Behind Text.

There's another solution I've used with our letterhead. Take an original
letterhead and scan it as a JPEG or TIFF file. Personally, I prefer JPEG
(JPG). Clip the image so it includes only your letterhead information and
save the file.

Open a blank document in Word. Go to INSERT - PICTURE - FROM FILE and

select
the JPG file with your letterhead, and press OKAY. In the document, RIGHT
CLICK the image and select FORMAT OBJECT. From the pop up box, select

LAYOUT.
I use the BEHIND TEXT option and select CENTER. Select OKAY. You can now
move the picture to anywhere in the document and the text will not cause

it
to move. Plus you still have use of the footer.

Now save your document as either a Word Document or template. I usually

just
save it as a DOC file because it's easier than trying to add it to the
template gallery. This procedure has worked in every version of Word since

97.

Our letterhead has a black bar at the bottom of each page with the

company
contact info reversed out in white. I cannot change the color of a

footer
and if I put a text box at the bottom it moves as people type.

Is there a way to create a black bar with reversed out type at the

bottom of
the page that does not move as people type and that will appear on each

page
for multi-page letters?

I would appreciate any advice that someone could offer to me. Thanks.
