Managing headers across forms and reports

I am creating a DB with several forms and reports and would like all the
forms to have the same header section with a logo and nearly all the reports
to have another one. The idea is that changes to the logo and title would
only have to be made once and in one place (hope that makes sense!)

I’m using Access 2003 and have not found anyway of creating master template
to do this and am thinking the best way would be to define a common Word
object and paste the same object to each form/ report.

Is there a better way?

I'd create a subform and a subreport with the log and other header stuff,
and use that in the header section of each form or report. The Link
Master/Child fields of the subform/subreport control would be blank.

I use a linked image, stored in a network share. I change that and all the
database copies start to use it when they load up

Thank you all.
I think I will go with a .png image I can change to update all the forms and
reports.
Strange this kind of thing is not part of Access...
