    I copy and pasted a tip that i_monk had posted a while back here on QBN. Lost the link but have his method saved:

    1. Save your letterhead as an 8.5x11 PDF, print quality.
    2. in Word, turn on Headers & Footers (so you can see them)
    3. Click in the Header space, and Insert Picture from File...
    4. Select your PDF, it will appear in the header probably shifted half off the page.
    5. Right click and Format Picture... Here you see it to Size/Scale to100% (the default is like 71%), position Behind Text, and the Absolute Position has to be 0cm and 0cm, from Page (I think Margin is the default). You may have to repeat this step a few times because it seems to selectively ignore the absolute position details.
    6. Turn off headers (so you can't see them anymore) and save.
