How do I create a multi page template?

I am wondering if anybody knows how to create a multi page template. By multi
page I mean that I want one graphic watermark on the first page then a
different one on page 2 and up. If you have any insight or work around let me
know. I have tried multiple approaches like making a macro and having it load
the pictures seperately but then I run into issues with margins on the two
pages. The first page has the company logo top center and the address bottom
center. The second page has only a border around it. The margins are
completely different on the two pages.

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)

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

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.

Hope this helps,
