Word into Word or Header pg1 or Protect Doc Problem
I find it really unusal that you cannot insert a Word file into a Word file
the way you can with Adobe Acrobat Pro. That is such a useful feature. If I could, I could insert our letterhead, as a separate file, into any document as page one and not have to deal with subsequent page/different first page formatting issues - which don't work in this case: I can clear the the letterhead header information on subsequent pages to the first, but I can't clear the space it uses and our letterhead header is 3.5" - so to have a 3.5" blank spot on pages 2 - x is ridiculous. It would be so easy to insert our letterhead page as a separate file, as page 1 of a document - BUT Word doesn't allow you to insert a Word doc into a Word doc. This is so easy to do with Adobe. I am very dissapointed with this severe limitation of Word. So, then, I created a page, with our complex letterhead information (3 columns) at the top of the page (not as a header) and then put in a section break to eliminate the column format and set it up to lock that information from being changed through the "Protect Document" feature. But, then, I cannot keep the highlighting from showing up throughout the rest of the document where "Allow changes" is set. In other words, from that point forward I don't want each person that uses this document to have to keep turing off the highlighted section(s) of "Allow changes from this point forward." I just want them to create their own document with a locked letterhead logo section at the top. You should be able to save the document and reopen it without the "Highlighted OK to create/use/change section" going forward. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Greg |

Word into Word or Header pg1 or Protect Doc Problem
You can insert a document into a document. What makes you think you cannot?
Insert, Object, Office Word Document (if you are using Word 2007) or you can add the Insert File command to the QAT. (Previous version had a similar command). But this is not the way to do this and you certainly don't need to have a 3.5" margin on every page. I suggest that you read the really excellent tutorial by fellow Word MVP Suzanne which explains the simple procedure in easy steps. http://word.mvps.org/AboutMVPs/index.htm and Using Templates turtorials at http://word.mvps.org/index.html -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "gar649" wrote in message ...

Word into Word or Header pg1 or Protect Doc Problem
Thank you, Terry for the Insert Object. I came upon that before and stopped
short at the "Text from file" part. By QAT do you mean Quick Access Taskbar? Thank you also for the additional references. I do see the Part I: Creating Simple Templates by Suzanne S. Barnhill. Is this the only one by her you were referring to or was there another one, also. I will need a little more time to pursue this later today, but Thanks again, I see this is the right site to be on.

QAT = Quick Access Toolbar.
I forgot to include the link to Suzanne's article. It is at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm Terry "gar649" wrote in message ... Thank you, Terry for the Insert Object.
