Header/Footer
We use a letterhead in our department and it was created using the header and
the footer part (of Word 2000), so that you can just click into the "body" of the letterhead and just type your letter. Most of our letters are brief (paragraph or two), but today I noticed that if you keep typing a letter it creates a second page with another letterhead. We need to have a blank page for the second (and third, so on) page. I cannot seem to get it to do that. I am savvy enough to manipulate it so that it is a blank second page. But not everyone can do that. Can someone tell me how to create a letterhead using the header/footer, so that is just stays on the first page (and not move to the second page)??? |

Header/Footer
Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you
want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

Header/Footer
You may have to start anew. Delete your header and your footer, go to file,
page setup, layout, check the different first page and then go to okay. Now make your letter head header, and your footer. Try it out by typing whatever and getting a second page "Jen" wrote: Unfortunately, it just deleted the header and the footer.....

Header/Footer
It did _not_ delete the header and footer. You will see the First Page
Header and footer boxes on the first page, you need a second page to see the regular (continuation) header and footer. See the article I referred you to earlier. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
