Margin Text
Hi
Anyone have any idea how to write text into the margins in Word 2002? I need a header that goes inside the left margin of every page of the document with the same text in it on every page and I also need to write margin notes in the right margin. I can't find anything about this in Word help. Thanks |

Margin Text
Bill,
For the left side, you will need to insert a frame anchored in the header. You can access the insert frame icon from the Forms toolbar. For the right side, you can create style using a frame posistioned in the right margin. -----Original Message----- Hi Anyone have any idea how to write text into the margins in Word 2002?

You can use a text box or a frame. This is in the header/footer even though
it is outside the area normally considered the header. Take a look at: Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download/...StylesTutorial Some other pages to look at if this is letterhead: 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) 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.
