I would like to create a WORD (2000 or 2003) template for use with a
pre-printed page. Ideally, I would place an image of the preprinted elements
as a "background" to the page, then create margins, text boxes, etc where the
user could enter text, images, etc. (much like a newsletter being written for
printing in black on paper which has color accents, titles etc. on it
already. The pre-printed elements would be visible, but would not print when
the page is printed. Any ideas? (Please post replies here).

In ToolsOptionsPrint, uncheck the "Drawing Objects" box from the Include
with document section of the dialog.
