Re: Inserting Logo in Header

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There is no way for your client to email a Word document that someone else
can read and prevent them from saving something that looks like the original
without the header. Period. If, instead, it is converted to a non-editable
pdf file it can be a bit more difficult.

Why not use a template for your letterhead rather than a macro? You are
using a drill press when you need a screw driver. It is over-powered and not
quite the right tool, unless you have other reasons for using a macro that
are not apparent.

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. You can then lock the headers as shown in the article you've
read, keeping in mind my first statement.
Some other pages to look at:

http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.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

Hope this helps,
