And once again I'll ask - did you try what I suggested in my very first
response?

Dear Bob,

Thanks for your advice. I tried what you suggested but it comes up in
Word
as ten seperate items. I can get these items on the page but the tools in
Word cann't reorganise the items back to the original letterhead.
Anything else I could try?

Thanks,
apb

Hi Apb,

What will sometimes work, for reusing Publisher single page content in
Word, is to use the Web Page save/open capabilities of the
two programs (success in this can depend on a number of factors,
including how complex your letterhead is, which design you started
with and how close to the margins you placed things).

Here is one method you may want to try.

1. In Word use View=Toolbars and turn on the Drawing Toolbar.

2. In Word use Tools=Options=General and turn on
[x] Confirm Conversions on Open

3. In Word use Tools=Customize=Commands, select the 'Drawing' category
and then drag the 'select multiple objects' command to the
Drawing toolbar (next to the already present 'white arrow' icon, then
close the customization dialog, then close Word (If prompted
to save changes to the global template, choose Yes).

4. In Publisher, open your letterhead file then use
File=Save as Web page (single file) and save it to an empty folder and
close Publisher. Make a note of the file name and folder
name.

5. In Windows Explorer, locate the .htm or .mht file you just saved,
right click it, choose 'Open With' and select Microsoft Word.

5. In Word, once the file is opened in Word click on the 'Select Multiple
Objects' choice on the drawing toolbar and choose 'Select
All'.

6. In Word, on the drawing toolbar use Draw=Group.

7. In Word use ctrl+X to cut the letterhead object out of the main
document area.

8. In Word use View=Header and Footer and use Ctrl+V to paste the
letterhead there.

9. In Word save the file as a .dot (template) or a .doc file then use
View=Print Layout to see if that gives you close to your
original letterhead.

I've tried copying the letterhead and pasting it to word but it comes up
completely differently and I can't change it back to the original with
the
tools in word. (that's why it was done in publisher in the first place).
What do you mean by a proper graphics application and in what program?

Have you thought about going in the other direction? Create your letter in
Word, then insert your Word file into a text box in your Publication.

I made up my letterheads in Microsoft Publisher but I don't seem to be able
to transfer the letterheads to Microsoft Word so that I can print directly
onto the letterhead and save as such. How can I do this?
