2nd page background image different than 1 page...is it possible?
I am setting up our company letterhead in Word. I used the Background Image
feature to set our logo at the top, a watermarked "swoosh" in the middle of the page (no, we're not Nike!), and our address info at the bottom. The first page is perfect! I want to setup all the following pages to have a different look. I set the 'different first page' option and setup the second page by simply placing a couple of logos in the footer. Now I need to add just the swoosh to the following pages. When I add the swoosh through the Background Image feature, the following pages look fine, but the first page has the second swoosh (for a total of 2 swooshi on the first page). Why isn't the "different first page" feature kicking in for the Background Image? Any workarounds? TIA Frank Hughes BellSolutions.net |

2nd page background image different than 1 page...is it possible?
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 (A header can include images in the background.) 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.
