Keeping an image locked on page one of a word document

[mdemitchell]

I am creating a letterhead for our company to use but the image moves to the
second page when the text runs to page 2. I have tried changing the advanced
settings like lock anchor, etc. but nothing seems to work.

Any way to keep the image on page one when typing more than one page?

Hi,

You can do this by putting the letterhead into the document's header and
formatting the document to have a different first page (see under File|Page
Setup|Layout).

Thanks for the info; however the doc I'm creating is a little more complex.
I've started with MS Word's letterhead template (with graphic on side) and
created a letterhead our co. prez likes. Unfortunately, even using the
advanced tab in the image layout section to "lock anchor" or "do not move
with text" the graphic still carries on to the next page when typing more
than one page.

Are you putting your image in the First Page Header? See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm. You must anchor the
graphic to the header paragraph, not a paragraph in the document body.

Now I see what you are talking about. I have reset the image within the
header and made it different for page 1. Thanks for the help.

Hi All,

I'm struggling with this same issue, however the correspondence on the
letterhead I'm trying to create will be emailed, not printed. When I embed
the letterhead graphic in the header, it's 'grayed' out when in print layout
view.

Is there any other way? In the template, I have the corporate logo at the
top left of the page, and contact information in a text box down the left
side. I've grouped the two together and reset the page margins. I tried
inserting a date code as the first line of text in the document, hoping the
grouped objects would lock to it, but they don't.

This is making me a little crazy, thanks for any help.

Cheers,

Well....nevermind I guess. I think I've resolved the issue.

I removed the grouped objects. Then placed my cursor at the very beginning
of the document and pasted them back in, with the date field already there.
I did a test, by pasting in 3 pages of text, and the group stayed on page one
by the date field! Yippee!

Cheers,
Karen
