How to fix a letterhead template
My company has a template that was made already before I started for
electronic letterhead. It doesn't appear to me that any headers or footers were used when creating this but our letterhead is such that the first 1-2" on the left hand side of the letterhead is where our address, logo etc. is. It appears to me that text boxes were used for most of the design. There doesn't seem to be to much problem with the previous template other then when trying to cut and paste it doesn't seem to take the information properly and it jarbles up the logo and moves it around for some reason. It is best to start from scratch again or can this template be fixed to be able to use as electronic letterhead. We use Word 2003. Any suggestions on how to fix |

How to fix a letterhead template
The template can probably be fixed up. Compare the placement of the
logo and the text boxes to those in the "More complex letterhead" section of http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How to fix a letterhead template
Is it better to start from scratch or fix the old?
Many a user has had to fix a document where the original author/typist did not use tabs or indents to begin a paragraph, but repeatedly used the spacebar (i.e., spspspspsp... arrrghh!) Personally, I would start from scratch. I have often 'tried to fix' and 'did fix' other peoples' work. In almost every case, the process was tedious and frustrating. To fix someone else's work requires a deciphering of the document's original structure and intent; a deciphering of how the current document is inadequate, and finally a disovery of how to fix the identified problems. During this process I have often determined that the document's originator knew far less or far more about Word than me. It has often been easier for me to start from scratch. Then the only person I can blame for the new/revised document's problem is myself. Additionally, by creating a new document it ensures that the document (template) works with your current software (hardware) configuration. You don't inherit legacy problems. -- Tom Conrad "Michelle" wrote: My company has a template that was made already before I started for electronic letterhead.
