If you are printing on headed paper (paper on which the letterhead is
printed), you need only allow a large enough top margin to clear the
letterhead. I think we need more details if the situation is more complex
than that. For some tips, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm

To be able to print on an existing letter head you will need to format
the page in such a way that it does not print over your existing letter
and always start at a specific point.  

There should be a area that is blank with no text where the your latter
head detail would appear.  One way of achieving this goal is to open a
text box and size it to the point where your date or salutation start.

At the bottom of your screen you should have the Drawing toolbar and
you will find the text box there.  Click on the textbox and size the
testbox you need.  You will notice a frame around the textbox that will
print.  Change the setting for the text box to no border to eliminate
that problem.

Hope this helps
