Hello! I've been trying to figure out how to set up a template, or
something, to save the letterhead from a nonprofit organization into a Word
document, so that we can fax out mailings with the letterhead embedded on the
document that we type the text into.
I see the reply to an earlier post that says you can use JPEG, etc., but HOW
do I use it? At the moment, I have a PDF file of a letter typed onto the
organization's letterhead. Is there any way that I can set up a template or
something? And how does one do that?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

PDF files were designed with the intention of:
1) Allow the distribution of a low free reader that would allow most
computer users to view documents stored and transmitted in the format.
2) Be a read only format that would complicate tampering with the PDF
document's content, both for rights management and insurance that the
document isn't modified.
3) The format would be so useful for the above purposes document
"publishers" would spend a significant sum purchasing the Acrobat PDF
generating software.
Because of the above, using a PDF file as a source of the logo could
generate some complications. You might need to acquire software
specifically written to extract material from PDF files to get the logo
from it. Even then, the feasibility of extracting the logo would be
dependent on the original document publisher not using options to
prevent it.
You may need to recreate the logo from scratch or scan the logo with a
flatbed scanner. Multi function peripherals often combine printing,
scanning and faxing capabilities with a set of slots for digital camera
memory cards.
Exact procedures might vary depending on which Word version you are
using. Some versions allow the insertion of a graphic in the page header
with the users choice of Word's left/right/center alignment functions,
very similar to inserting a graphic into the document body. You may want
to use a section break in the document body so that you can use a
different header without the logo for the second and subsequent pages.
Someone with the version you use might be able to offer more precise
instructions after you identify which version you use.
