Word Headaches!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

I created a letterhead in word and now I want to protect only the letterhead so that it can not be changed. How do I do that without protecting the rest of the document???? I dont want to protect the document and set it to edit the rest apart from the letterhead, because that caused other word problems. Please someone help!?!

I am also still having problems with setting my page margins. I have the letterhead down the right hand side of the first page, and from the second page onward, I want to set the margins wider. I've looked at your advice on headers and footers, but it doesn't seem to work. The margin keeps jumping back to the same as the first page with the letterhead
it's getting very frustrating!!!

Any help on these problems would be appreciated.

The only ways that can be done are as described in the articles

“How can I prevent users from editing the header of a document in Word 2000
or higher?†at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ProtectWord2000PlusHeader.htm

and “How can I prevent users from editing the header of a Word 97 document?â€
at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ProtectWord97Header.htm

Otherwise, it's a matter of education. Shouldn't be that hard.

Set the whole document to have the margins you want from page 2 onward (even
page 1);
Make sure you set the header/footer to be "Different first page";
Then go to the first page header and put you letter head stuff in a
borderless text box sized to the width you want and that runs the full
length of the page;
Make sure to set it up so that text wraps around it (Not floating over
text);
This way you will effectively have a wider right margin on the first page
only.

I use this all the time to set different top and bottom margins in
letterheads, first time I see someone needing this on the right side though.
Your letterhead must be funky!
