Hello,
My expertise is more in systems administration (Windows, Linux etc.) than
in word processing. However, my users have asked me for a template they
can use in Word 2003 for creating both printed letters and PDF letters.
The template should include their letterhead. Of course, I do know some
of the basics and I would put the letterhead in the page headers, with
different elements for first page and following pages, etc. So far there
is not a problem. It works well when "printing" to PDF, fax or whatever
medium apart from paper.
However, when printing to paper, they want to be able to switch off the
letterhead because they use their own very nice stationery with
preprinted letterheads.
My first idea was to give them a macro button in the toolbar that lets
them easily turn off/on printing of graphical objects (in Tools, Options,
Printing). But of course, that approach has two problems: they can't use
any graphics at all anymore and text that was previously "wrapped" around
graphics becomes unwrapped. The latter also happens when I make the
embedded letterhead "hidden" and let them switch between printing or not
printing of hidden objects.
I hope I made my problem clear enough. I would certainly like a little
push in the right direction here...
Thanks in advance.
