Hi Doug:
I took you advice and created a template of the
letterhead document so there are no textboxes. But when I
try to copy and paste the body of the letter, the left
side of the document, which contains the names of the
officers in the agency get all scrambled, - worse than
before. We just want to be able to keep the left side
stationery and be able to copy and paste the letter
portion in the document. Help! Thanks. Beth
