- There are several different ways to accomplish this. One is with section
- breaks. In WFW, each section can have different margins. The only problem
- with this is that every document becomes at least 2 pages long, and if
- you press the print button you will get two pages out, even for one page
- letters.
-
- A better way, IMHO, is to use hidden text. The text can say something
- like: "Begin typing your letter after this text".
-
- Enclose the hidden text in a table with no borders or shading. Make
- the table sufficiently large so that text following the table will be
- below your letterhead. Use a frame if necessary.
-
- Make sure that hidden text
- printing is turned off, but is displayed to the user. Each letterhead
- document begins with the hidden text enclosed in the table. The table
- occupies sufficient space at the beginning so as to leave enough
- room for the letterhead.
-
- My hidden text has the red color attribute so that there's no mistaking
- the fact that it is hidden text.
-
- Let us know what you finally do.
