Hi All,

I am looking to find out the best way to incorporate our office stationery
as a backround to a template. I wish for the office logo, header, footer and
possible side column to be included in a template for ease of placement of
text, I wish for this to be a guide only and that it should not print by
default but would be possible to print as backround if required. In addition
to this I would also like to predetermine the second, third, etc.
continuation sheets to be of a different backround. Can someone point me in
the right direction. I have good experience with word but do not have to use
on a day to day basis.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

It is a fairly simple matter to set up a page with a different first page
header and in that first page header insert a graphic (scanned?) of your
letterhead and set its layout property to behind text. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm

The graphic will under normal circumstances print. However you can toggle
its display on or off with a macro
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Selection.HomeKey wdStory
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
With Selection
.HeaderFooter.Shapes("Picture 1").Select
If .ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 1# Then
.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 0.5
Else
.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 1#
End If
End With
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekMainDocument

In theory at least if you insert just the one graphic, that graphic will be
"Picture 1" and the macro works by toggling the brightness of the image
between 50% (normal) and 100% (white out).
