Letterhead problems

I'm trying to develop a letterhead template with organization name, address,
& logo @ top & names/positions of officers in sidebar to left. Have the
design made, but when opening the template it positions the cursor way at the
top to the left of the logo, etc. We have newbie users who will have some
challenge remembering to move the cursor. No matter what I've tried, I can't
get cursor to be positioned @ location where text/letter is to begin.

Help???

Thanks for your time!

Place the information in the first page header (or anchor it to the
first header paragraph). For more, see

Hi Stefan - thanks for your reply.
I placed the appropriate text in the header section, but the problem seems
to originate in the info to the left of the area where the letter is to be
typed. Specifically, I have text to the left in which I list the officers of
the organization. I tried to insert this both as a text box and as a frame,
and in either case the cursor winds up malpositioned.

Any ideas?

Once again, thanks for your time!

The text box or frame needs to be anchored to the First Page Header
paragraph.

Open the header/footer view. Insert your Text Box.

Alternatively, if you've already created the text box, Cut it from the main
document, then View | Header and Footer and Paste into the header.

Put your letterhead in the first-page header. 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:
