manipulating downloaded templates

[joegerm]

How do I download the true .dot template from office.microsoft.com?

I need to know/see how the background image
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010161121033.aspx?pid=CT102079451033)
is implemented because I have a 2 page letter I'd like to print duplex but I
don't want the background image on the 2nd page.

I was hoping it was a background or watermark that could be applied only to
page 1.

Thanks

Did you try downloading it and saving it as a template?

Yes, but I don't see how the image has been put in there. It doesn't seem to
be a background or watermark. It's like it's embedded in the file.

I was hoping by getting the true .dot that it would become more apparent how
the image was put in there.

It's neither a watermark or a background. It's just a picture, as Insert -
Picture...

The only thing that can be stored in a template and not a document is
AutoText. Otherwise everything stored in the template is copied to the
document. IOW, there wouldn't be anything gained by viewing the template.

Regarding the template you downloaded, the image(s)* are stored in the
Header and Footer layer. For version of Word below 2007 use View/Header and
Footer. For Word 2007, right click the Header or Footer and then click Edit
Header or Edit Footer.

So if you want the image only on page 1 then you can cut/paste the image(s)
and place them in the text layer of the document.

* There are two images, the snowflakes and the larger background image.

The image is considered a background/watermark of sorts since it's in the
Header/Footer layer. The only difference is how it was insert.

Additionally, how do you propose "joegerm" insert use Insert/Picture when he
doesn't have the actual image he wants to insert? What he wants is the image
that is visible in the template he cited.

My point was that the image was just an inserted picture. I downloaded that
template and was easily able to save the image. It wasn't some weird sort of
"preprinted" image. Just a cute graphic of a snowman on a green background.

But what did you do exactly, that is what steps did you take, to save the
image? That was the poster's point -- *how* do you get to the image and how
do you get it to appear only on a specific page? That was the question they
were asking (not how to insert a picture) and if you were able to save the
image then why not relay those steps as an answer to the question?
