    This has always worked for me:
    - Design in Indesign or other at letterhead size
    - Export as standard high res PDF, 300 dpi cmyk
    - Open PDF in PShop
    (Page options: Crop to: Trim box, Res 300dpi, cmyk)
    - Crop header (include area from top and side margins to edge of page) or crop/copy into a new window if there is a Header & Footer.
    - Convert to RGB, flatten and save as JPG (uncheck 'Embed colour profile), quality 10 (or 9 if smaller file size is required)
    - Crop/trim Footer: save as above
    - Open new word doc
    - VIEW / Header and Footer
    - INSERT / Picture from file
    - Double-click image: Size to 100%, Wrapping style behind text, Horizontal alignment to centre
    - Click ADVANCED button / Picture position / Horizontal Alignment CENTRED relative to page / Vertical alignment TOP relative to page.
    - Check all OPTIONS except 'picture placeholder'
    - OK, then do the same for footer except align to BOTTOM relative to page.
    - Close HEADER/FOOTER view
    - FORMAT / Document: Set TOP margin to where you want the copy to start and side margins as required.

    Note: Word fucking sucks balls and will do everything in it's power to fuck you up at every opportunity.
