MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2007Proper approach for letterhead
If one desires to create letterhead stationary that can be "typed into", how does one or what does one create for such purposes? A template? What? Our otherwise pre-printed letterhead has a logo on the upper right-hand corner plus horizontal and vertical lines parallel to and close to all four edges of a 8.5" x 11" paper and our mailing address immediately below the logo. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Bill A template would be better than a what. > If one desires to create letterhead stationary that > can be "typed into", how does one or what does [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks in advance for any suggestions, > Bill http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > If one desires to create letterhead stationary that > can be "typed into", how does one or what does [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks in advance for any suggestions, > Bill I'll study your recommendation in a day or so. Thanks, Bill > http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> Thanks in advance for any suggestions, >> Bill Okay, I created the artwork that is required to satisfy the requirements of the letterhead template. The header section of the template is filled with a JPEG image. Then, a frame was superimposed on the image allowing for easy variations of text content in the letterhead. Everything looks fine except that the header section required page margins that really aren't desirable for the document body. E.g., the header section is 8 inches wide while that isn't normally an appropriate column width for the body of the document. Is there a way to have different margins for the header than that of the body? Thanks, Bill > http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> Thanks in advance for any suggestions, >> Bill Absolutely. In this case you're talking about the side margins, right? Just give the header paragraph negative right and left indents in the required amounts. You can do different top margins, too; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm SignatureSuzanne S.

As I have it now, the left and right boundaries of the header section are dictated by whatever is set for the document. In order to achieve the proper size in the header section in which fits an 8 inch wide JPEG image, I have to set the page margins to .25 inches left and right. I don't see any handles on the header that would allow me to increase its width beyond the page boundaries. The only "paragraph" in the header is text that is centered in a borderless frame superimposed on the image. Can you explain a bit further for me? Thanks, Bill > Absolutely.

If I then select the header and drag the margins the body changes with it. If there's a trick to changing them independently, I haven't found it yet.

[quoted text clipped - 56 lines] >>>> >> Thanks in advance for any suggestions, >>>> >> Bill Though I'd very much like to know how to independently control margins between the header and body, I solved my current problem with the exclusive use of frames. I'm used to using frames in Access, so for me to be able to stretch the borders of frames to suit myself makes the whole situation much easier.

Are you doing this from Format | Paragraph? If using the ruler, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm for illustrations showing the difference between the indent markers and the margin markers. SignatureSuzanne S.

It worked fine for the left but not for the right. The paragraph in the header has text that is right-aligned, but the text does not shift over after I set the right indent. I think you've told me enough, so I'll play with it some more. Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions. Bill > You don't change the *margins*; you change the indents.

I think I'll stick with the use of frames in this instance, particularly since I have it done and it works perfectly.

But if you want the image to be In Line With Text (not in a frame), then you need to change the indents of the Header paragraph (which is the paragraph to which the frame is currently anchored. Displaying nonprinting characters will help you see the header paragraph (which is a single paragraph in Header style). As Jezebel says, you can drag the indent markers on the ruler, or you can right-click and choose Format Paragraph, then enter negative amounts for the left and right indents in the Paragraph dialog.
