Using a Publisher Template in Word - or equivalent ?
I've got my company letterhead created in Publisher and it is printed it off
to create a set of company-headed notepaper. When I come to write a letter I enter the text into Word using a word template for the correct margins, etc and then print onto the pre-printed letterhead. Increasingly I want to be able to create the same letter on the company letterhead but print to pdf so I can send the letter as a file attach. It seems a chore to do it all in Publisher and I don't seem to have an option to create a Word template from Publisher Can anyone tell me the best way to achieve it. Current version of office is 07 but I also have 2010 beta Thanks in advance Rob |

Once that is done start Word, Insert Header, insert the picture (.png) file. Resize the picture to fit. Close the header box and then save as a .dotx file (Document Template.) When you need to create the file to send (or even print on non-letterhead paper with the color printer) then simply open the template file. I use this method all the time. Generally it is cheaper than commercial printing of letterhead paper and it also prevents issues with toner migration when printing through a laser printers the second time. |

I think you can also put your picture in as a watermark using that technique, if you should want to. But don't quote me on that it's more years ago than I want to remember when I did such things! -- -- Geoff ExploitEd Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I do wish I could remember the darn question |
