Word 2000 Template document
Hi I created a compnay letterhead in Word 2000 with my
logo and company name on top and address/phone info on bottom of page. The problem I have is that when I start typing a few lines in the body of the letter the address/phone info on the bottom gets pushed down and creates page #2. I have the same problem whether I put the info into a footer or a text box. How can I set up the template so that it truly acts like letterhead. agarg_1 |

See the instructions for creating a letterhead on Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill's website http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm.

You want to use headers and footers for letterhead information. 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.zebra.net/~sbarnhill/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download/...StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.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/IS...ncecheckbookA/ 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.
