MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / April 2005"Professional Letter" template
In Office 2002xp, could I have the identical image of what appears on our company's printed letterhead stationery appear on my word "Professional Letter" template? How? Thank you. Tom Depends what the image is. If it's a straight graphic or logo, scan it and put it in the template's first page header. If it's a fancy typeface you'll have to find a copy of the font and install it on all the computers that need to use it, then set up the template to print whatever it is. > In Office 2002xp, could I have the identical image of what appears on our > company's printed letterhead stationery appear on my word "Professional > Letter" template?

I have an hp ScanJet 3200C that I have owned since 1999. I got to examine more on that. I figured if I treat that as an image/photograph, then the sw used to produce the latterhead will become irrevalent; I believe it was produced in Coral sw and I don't have the sw. Any more ideas will be appreciated. Thank you. > Depends what the image is. If it's a straight graphic or logo, scan it and > put it in the template's first page header.

However the hardware has been subject to some brutal built-in obsolesence over the past five years. If your scanner is five-years-old and your computer is new you might have a hard time of it.

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.htm#LetterheadTextboxesAndStylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.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/ISBN=0789729555/balancecheckbookA/ 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.
