Just out of curiosity, did you finally figure out headers and layers, or
just use the table solution? Sorry, I should have suggested this link before, you may find it enlightening though not necessarily answering today's question: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/DrawLayer.htm DM On 1/15/05 8:42 AM, "Tom Leylan" wrote: Excellent it's working now. "Daiya Mitchell" wrote... Word does have a sense of layers, and it will do what you want. How are you putting the logo in the file? If you are using Insert | picture, in my browse dialog there is a checkbox for "treat pictures as separate layer" that needs to be checked before inserting. That will allow you to anchor the picture in the header, then drag it to wherever you want. Word will type right over it, as it will be a separate layer. Go back to the link to learn about First Page Headers to prevent it appearing on every page (or to fix your existing watermark question). Alternatively, use a borderless table, set the graphic in the right side of the table, type the address, etc in the left side of the table. |

The following is a standard answer, because it works. Header means header,
not heading. 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://home.earthlink.net/~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.

Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "Tom Leylan" wrote in message ... Help :-) I've searched all over the place and found dozens of almost complete answers... all I want to do is place a logo in the top left corner of the first page such that it prints along with my letters rather than printing stationary in one pass and then sending those pages through the printer again. People have answered put the image in the header, send the image to the background, how about a watermark, etc., etc. I don't know if they just give out answers without trying it or they assume our settings are the same or what is happening but it just about never works. I created a template, looks great. I use the template, hey it's working, delete some text... oops there goes the logo. That can't be what people are asking for when they pose this question. If it's difficult does somebody know of a site that outlines it? The logo has to be placed in a particular spot on the page. It's letterhead so it should only appear on the first page (so I don't think I want to imbed it into a header) besides wouldn't that use up the header if we needed to use that also? If we type text it shouldn't start pushing the graphic around the page. If we select all and delete the stuff we typed it would be ideal if the logo and anything else we consider part of the template remained. I don't know enough about Word to know if it has a sense of "layers" but generally speaking we just want a background layer that for all intents and purposes acts like the paper. If it needs to be modified then the template would be modified not the document based upon it. Thanks so much for any pointers, particular to a step 1, step 2, step 3, voila... wasn't this easier than you imagined sort of document :-) Tom |

Tom, read and try the suggestions. Don't just assume they won't work. Take
them step by step. If an image is in the header, it isn't deleted by changing the text in the body. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "Tom Leylan" wrote in message ... Oh... a quick addendum. Placing an image is working pretty well. It lets me type in the top left corner and I can type on top of the logo if I want so I have control of the page. The problem is the image (though added to the template) is an object and when I select all the text and delete it the image goes with it. So this would work fine if "lock the image" was a possibility. Can one lock objects in a template such that they cannot be removed from a document formed using them? |
