DH Templates

Have an image to put at the top of a document to print it as letterhead. How do I make a template for it?

Sometimes I don't write the doc myself. I just want to easily add letterhead to a document. Usually just needs to be on the first page. What I dont want to do is to open up a doc that has the letter head and then copy and paste it. Is there a way to just apply letterhead? I am doing this to avoid printing on our colored letterhead as it is expensive and pointless when we send a fax where the recipient wont see the color anyway.

You will typically use the Word Template (DOTX file) format unless your template contains macros. In that case, you should use the Word Macro-Enabled Template (DOTM file) format. To learn more about creating and saving templates, read Create a new template on the Word 2007 Help and How-to web site or take these steps: 1. Open the document that you want to save as a template, or open a new document. 2. Click the Microsoft Office button, and then click Save As. 3. Browse to the location where you want to save the template and then type a file name. 4. Click the Save as type box and then select Word Template (or select Word Macro-Enabled Template if you have or plan to add macros to your template). 5. To have Word 2007 automatically generate a thumbnail image of the first page of the template, select the Save Thumbnail check box . After you use the template, the image is displayed in the New Document pane under Recently Used Templates. This can help you more quickly find the template the next time you want to use it to create a new document. 6. Click Save. To open a document based on your new template, browse to the location where you saved the template and then double-click the file name. If you prefer to select and apply a template after you've opened a new document in Word, save templates to the default template location on your computer. That way, you can use them by going to My templates in the New Document pane. On Windows Vista, the default template location is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates. On Windows XP, it is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Microsoft\Templates.
