How do I create letterheads

[Jason_Feng]

I want to create a "right-handed letterhead" that is essentially two columns,
one with the list of members and a smaller one for them to initial. This
letterhead will be on the right margin of all documents. The document will be
posted on the bulletin board and members who have read it will initial beside
their name.

It's like making a header or footer, but on the right hand side. I hope I've
explained my problem enough. It seems easy enough to do but I don't know how,
and my explanation isn't too clear but hopefully somebody can figure it out.

A header or footer can be anywhere on the page. Open the header view and
place a borderless text box (with a suitable wrapping option set) containing
a two column table down the right side of your page.

I would create a template. You could put a borderless table (no lines at
all, unless you want them), two columns, and as many lines as you need on the
right side of the page. Insert the text you want to display each time, save
as a template, then use this each time you have a communication to post.

You put it in the header or footer in a text box or frame that is floating
on the right or left. See

Good thinking, but not for this application, if it truly is a letterhead. A
table is going to preclude text in the body.

Question: I described the textbox anchored to header method to people who
want a new letterhead to have the "header" down the left margin instead of at
the top. They thought a table would be more stable. I am going to
demonstrate with examples that a table won't work. Are there any concise
ways I can expand on the statement of Charles's below? The tutorial was
extremely helpful!

I use tables - they are perfect - have it wrap and text will flow alongside
of course all tables are in your header or footer on first page.
